Profile Data Tab (Profile Properties Dialog Box)

Use this tab to view structural data about a profile.

Name

Specifies the name of the profile.

Description

Specifies an optional description for the profile.

Type

Specifies whether the profile is a surface profile , layout profile , superimposed profile, or corridor profile .

Data Source

For surface profile, displays the name of the surface represented in the profile. For superimposed profiles, displays the name of the superimposed profile. For corridor profiles, specifies the name of the source corridor. Not used for layout profiles or corner radius profiles.

Offset

Specifies the offset distance from the centerline of the parent horizontal alignment: either 0 for a centerline profile, a positive number for a right offset, a negative number for a left offset. This value is set to 0 for corner radius profiles.

Update Mode

For surface profiles only. Specifies whether the profile updates automatically to reflect changes in surface level.

  • Dynamic: The profile automatically updates to reflect changes in the surface level or the geometry of the parent horizontal alignment.
  • Static: The profile shows surface levels at the time of its creation. It does not update to reflect changes that occur later.
Layer

Specifies the drawing layer on which the profile is placed.

Style

Specifies the style used by the profile.

Chainage Start/End

Specifies the first and last chainage numbers for the profile. The chainage numbers represent distances along the parent horizontal alignment.

Level Minimum/Maximum

Specifies the highest and lowest level values that occur along the profile.

Alignment

Specifies the parent horizontal alignment for the profile.

Parent Horizontal Alignment

Name

Specifies the name of the horizontal alignment associated with this profile.

Chaining

Specifies the start and end chainage values for the horizontal alignment.
