Offset Parameters Tab (Profile Properties Dialog Box)

This tab is available for dynamic offset profiles that are created during the process of creating alignment offsets or intersections.

Note: To switch an offset profile between dynamic and static states, use the Profile Data tab. If an offset profile is static, then the Offset Parameters tab is not displayed for that profile. However, any cross slope regions you may have created when the offset profile was dynamic are preserved.

Parent Alignment

This read-only field displays the name of the parent alignment for this offset profile.

Parent Profile

This read-only field displays the name of the parent profile for this offset profile.

Cross Slope Regions

Specifies the stations along the parent alignment to which to apply specified cross slopes to the offset profile.

The cross slope value that was assigned when the offset profile was created is shown in the first row. This row cannot be deleted, but you can edit the value by clicking in the Value field.

Add Cross Slope Region

Adds cross slope regions.

When you click this button the dialog box is temporarily dismissed and you are prompted to select a station along the parent alignment baseline.

Click to select the station or enter a value at the command line.

You are then prompted to enter the value for the cross slope. Enter a negative cross slope by using a minus (-) sign.

You can continue to select new stations and define cross slopes, or press Enter to complete the selection and redisplay the Profile Properties dialog box.

Delete Cross Slope Region

Deletes the selected cross slope regions. The first region, which starts at the beginning station of the profile, cannot be deleted.
