Profile Display Options Page (Create Profile View Wizard)

Use this page to view and change settings for all the profiles associated with the specified alignment.

Select Stacked View To Specify Options For

Note: This control is not available if the Show Offset Profiles By Stacking Views check box on the General page is cleared.

Displays a list of the stacked profile views. The number of profile views in this list depends on the Number Of Stacked Views specified on the Stacked Profile page. Select a profile view from the list, and then use the Specify Profile Display Options table to specify the settings for that stacked profile view.

Specify Profile Display Options

Change column widths in the table to make it easier to see the contents of cells. Use the following controls to modify profiles in the view.

Name

Specifies the name of the profile.

Draw

Clip Grid

Specifies which profile controls the horizontal and vertical extents of the profile view grid. This setting works only if the profile view style Grid Options are set to clip the grid.

Split At

Specifies which profile to favor when splitting a profile view containing multiple profiles.

For example, a profile view often contains both existing ground and finished ground profiles. Selecting Split At for the finished ground profile ensures that split occurs at the finished ground profile elevation.

Description

Specifies an optional description of 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 profile.

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.

Update Mode

For surface profiles only, specifies whether the profile is dynamic or static.

    Dynamic: The profile automatically updates to reflect changes in the surface elevation and the route traced by the parent horizontal alignment.

    Static: The profile shows surface elevations 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. If you change the style here, it changes the profile properties and the style is retained as the specified style when creating additional profile views. Use the standard controls to edit the style or create a new one.

Override Style

Specifies whether the profile style is overridden (changed) for the current profile view. You can override the style by clicking the check box and selecting a different style. If you do, the style change applies only to the current profile view. It does not change the style in the profile properties.

Labels

Click to open the Pick Profile Label Set dialog box where you can edit the profile labels.

Station Start/End

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

Elevation Low/High

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

Alignment

Specifies either the parent alignment of current profile view or the parent alignment of any superimposed profiles.
