Use this tab to manage the data band sets for the profile view.
- Band Type
-
Specifies which type of data band to add to the set: Profile Data, Vertical Geometry, Horizontal Geometry, Superelevation, Sectional Data, Pipe Data, Pressure Data, Cant Data, or Speed.
- Select Band Style
-
Specifies a style for the band. Standard buttons are provided to create or edit a style.
- Add >>
-
Adds the specified band type to the set for this profile view. Before clicking this button, ensure that the settings are correct for data band type, style, and location.
List of Bands
- Location
-
Specifies either the top or bottom of the profile view. The table below this field shows current location of the bands in the current band style set.
- Band Type
-
Specifies the data band type: Profile Data, Vertical Geometry, Horizontal Geometry, Superelevation, Sectional Data, Pipe Data, Pressure Data, Cant Data, or Speed.
- Style
-
Specifies the style for the band type.
- Description
-
Specifies optional descriptive notes about the band type
- Gap
-
Specifies the distance between the current data band and the adjacent profile view grid or data band.
- Geometry Points
-
For Profile Data bands, specifies the alignment and profile geometry points to label in the data band. Click
to open the
Geometry Points to Label in Band dialog box.
- Label Start Station
-
Specifies whether the starting station of the band is labeled.
- Label End Station
-
Specifies whether the ending station of the band is labeled.
- Alignment
-
Specifies either the parent alignment of current profile view or the parent alignment of any superimposed profiles.
- Profile1/Profile2
-
Specifies which profile or profiles supply the data for the band. For example, if two separate profiles are listed in Profile 1 and Profile 2 columns, then each station displayed in the band shows the elevation information for both profiles.
- Data Source
-
Specifies the source of the data displayed in the band. The options displayed depend on the type of data band:
Pipe Data Band: Select a pipe network in the drawing file.
Sectional Data Band: Select a sample line group that is associated with the alignment in the profile view
This column is available only for pipe and sectional data bands.
- Material
-
Specifies a material or list of materials for which data is displayed in a sectional data band. The options are generated using the properties of sample line groups that are associated with the alignment in the profile view.
- Weeding
-
Used only for labels at vertical geometry points on profile data bands. Vertical geometry points or grade 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. This option is only enabled for profile data band styles.
- Stagger Line Height
-
Specifies the height of the label stagger line.
- Band Position Controls
-
Changes the position of data bands in the set and deletes unwanted bands.
Move selected data bands up.
Move selected data bands down.
Delete selected bands.
- Import Band Set
-
Opens the Band Set dialog box. Select an existing band set to add to the band set for the current profile view.
- Save As Band Set
-
Opens the Band Set dialog box, where you can save the current band set for use with other profile views.
- Match major/minor increments to vertical grid intervals
-
Specifies if the profile data band major/minor interval distances for profile views matches the profile view style’s major/minor grid spacing intervals. Select the checkbox to match major/minor increments to vertical grid intervals. If this checkbox is selected, the major/minor interval fields in the List of Bands table are unavailable.
