Bands Tab (Band Set Dialog Box)

Use this tab to specify which data boxes are included in the set, along with their styles and positions relative to the profile view grid.

Band Type

Specifies which type of data box to add to the set: Profile Data, Vertical Geometry, Horizontal Geometry, Superelevation, Long Section, or Pipe Data.

Select Band Style

Specifies a style for the band. To edit a style or create a new one, click and select from the list of operations. To examine the details of an existing style, select the style by name in the list and click .

Add >>

Adds the specified data box type to the style set. Before clicking this button, ensure that the settings are correct for data box type, style, and location.

List of Bands

Location

Specifies either the top or bottom of the profile view. The table below this field shows the current location of the bands in the current band style set.

Band Type

Specifies the data box type.

Style

Specifies the style for the band type.

Description

Specifies optional description of the band type

Gap

Specifies the distance between the current data box and the adjacent profile view grid or data box. For bands below the profile view grid, the gap is measured from the top of the current band to the bottom of the band or grid above it. For bands above the profile view grid, the gap is measured from the bottom of the current band to the top of the band or grid below it.

Geometry Points

For Profile Data bands, specifies the alignment and profile geometry points to label in the data box. Click to open the Geometry Points to Label in Band dialog box.

Label Start Chainage

Specifies whether the start end of the band is labeled.

Label End Chainage

Specifies whether the end of the band is labeled.

Label Origin

Specifies whether the profile view origin is labeled with its chainage and level values.

Weeding

Used only for labels at vertical geometry points on profile data boxes. Vertical geometry points or gradient breaks that are closer than the weeding factor are removed, making it easier to read the remaining labels. Enter a positive number to specify a label exclusion distance.

Stagger Labels

Specifies the location of the label staggering line: No staggering, Stagger both sides, Stagger to right, or Stagger to left.

Stagger Line Height

Specifies the height of the label stagger line.

Band Position Controls

Changes the position of data boxes in the set and deletes unwanted bands.

    Moves selected data boxes up.

    Moves selected data boxes down.

    Deletes selected bands.

Match major/minor increments to vertical grid intervals

Specifies if the profile data box major/minor interval distances for profile views matches the profile view style’s major/minor grid spacing intervals. Select the check box to match major/minor increments to vertical grid intervals. If this check box is selected, the major/minor interval fields are unavailable.
