MarkPoint

This subassembly is used to mark an existing point on the assembly with a name.

This is usually done so that other subassemblies can later insert links that attach back to this point (for example, LinkToMarkedPoint). The attachment point is the point that is marked. You can add user-defined point codes to this marked point.

In the example below, there are two roadways with independent profiles. Once the links for the first roadway are created, the point at the left outside edge is being marked. Later, after the links for the second roadway are created, a link can be inserted from its right outside edge back to the marked point.

Note:

If you use the MarkPoint subassembly with the LinkToMarkedPoint subassembly, in order for the LinkToMarkedPoint subassembly to work (draw) properly, it must be located below the MarkedPoint subassembly on the Construction tab of the Assembly properties. If the LinkToMarkedPoint subassembly is not located below the MarkedPoint subassembly on the Construction tab, you should select the Subassembly Group name in the Construction tab, then right-click and choose Move Up, so that the MarkedPoint subassembly is located above the LinkToMarkedPoint subassembly in the list.

Attachment

The marked point name is placed at the attachment point.

Input Parameters

Note: All dimensions are in meters or feet unless otherwise noted. All slopes are in run-over-rise form (for example, 4 : 1) unless indicated as a percent slope with a “%” sign.

Parameter	Description	Type	Default
Point Name	Name to mark the attachment point with	String	None
Point Codes	Specify point codes at this location as needed, comma-separated, if multiple	String	MarkedPoint

Target Parameters

This section lists the parameters in this subassembly that can be mapped to one or more target objects, such as a surface, alignment, or profile object in a drawing. For more information, see To Specify Corridor Targets.

Target Parameters: None.

Output Parameters

None.

Behavior

A name is assigned to the selected attachment point. This point can be referenced by name in subassemblies added later to the assembly.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly draws a triangle symbol at the location of the marked point, and labels the marked point name above the point.

Point, Link, and Shape Codes

The following table lists the point, link, and shape codes for this subassembly that have codes assigned to them. Point, link, or shape codes for this subassembly that do not have codes assigned are not included in this table.

Point, Link, or Shape	Code	Description
P1	MarkedPoint	Marked point code
