Intersection Elements

Specify intersection elements in any of these ways:

Use the dialog box to modify the parameters.

Element

Description

Element 1

Element 2

Element 1 and 2 can be a straight line or a circular arc.

Click to show the element in the drawing.

Click to identify another element in the drawing.

Specify an offset value to shift the element.

Specify an azimuth value to rotate the element.

Point 1

Point 2

The orientation of element 1 is indicated by the direction of Point 1 and Point 2.

Point 3

Point 4

The orientation of element 2 is indicated by the direction of Point 3 and Point 4.

Easting

Northing

Elevation

Coordinates of the points. You can edit the coordinates or use to select another point.

Radius

Modify as needed. Use to switch between long arc and short arc.

Azimuth

Use the azimuth to rotate the element. For tangents the azimuth value specifies in which quadrant the result is located.

Use to reverse the line (add 180 degrees to the azimuth value).

Intersection 1

Intersection 2

Intersections with arcs have more than one result.

Use the Tangentials to toggle between point and tangents calculation.

For tangentials, if you define tangents, you can specify a radius. Enter 0 or leave the field empty to calculate a straight line.

If you define a radius you can use the Show Next to show all possible locations of the tangential arc.
