Profile Tab (Create Turnout Dialog Box)

Use the Profile tab to specify parameters for creating a profile for the turnout's diverted alignment and whether to merge with an existing profile.

Create Profile for Diverted Alignments
Specifies that a profile will be created for the turnout's diverted alignment. If the main alignment does not have a profile, this option is grayed out. If you choose to not create a profile using this option, you can create a profile later using the Create Diverted Profile command.

There is one auto-created diverted profile for one diverted alignment.

Main Profile

Diverted Profile Style
Specifies the style of the diverted profile. Click the drop-down list to access style options. Click to open the Style Detail dialog box.

Merge With
Specifies a profile with which to merge the diverted profile. For more information about working with a merged profile, see To Manually Connect a Rail Turnout to Its Merged Alignment or Profile.
Note: If you select a profile with which to merge the diverted profile, the Profile Name field below is grayed out.
Profile Name
Specifies the name of the diverted profile. Click to open the Name Template dialog box where you can specify the default name format.
Note: If you select the Merge With option above and select a profile to merge with, this option is grayed out.
