To Create a New Point on the Cross Section by Vertical Distance

You can create a point by specifying a vertical distance from the current cross section, height of instrument, prism height, and centerline.

The elevation is computed by subtracting the prism height from the value you specified with the Set Height Of Instrument command, and then adding the vertical distance.

Note: For parameter descriptions, see the Quick Reference tab.

To create a point by offset and vertical distance from the current cross section in the Survey Command Window

1. In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click on the network to edit, and click Survey Command Window.
2. Click Centerline menu Offset Vertical Distance.
3. Enter the point number of the point you want to create.
4. Enter the offset of the new point. The offset can be a positive or a negative value.
5. Enter the vertical distance.
