Crossings Tab (Profile View Properties Dialogue Box)

Use this tab to modify the properties of crossing objects in profile views.

Name

Displays the names and categories of objects that are displayed as crossing objects in the current profile view.

To remove an object from the profile view, right-click its name in the list and click Remove.

You can also remove an object by clicking the check box next to an object to clear it .

Note: If you clear the check boxes next to all of the profiles associated with an alignment, the check box next to the parent alignment is also cleared. To remove a profile but not its parent alignment, right-click the profile and click Remove.
Tip: To show a profile as a crossing object, but not its parent alignment, you can assign the parent alignment a marker style that has its visibility setting set to off.
Crossing Marker Style

Specifies the crossing marker style. Click <set all> for a category to specify the style for all objects of the category.

These styles are located in the Toolspace Settings tree in the GeneralMultipurpose StylesMarker Styles collection.

Crossing Label Style
Specifies the crossing label style. Click <set all> for a category to specify the label style for all objects of the category.

Crossing label styles are specific to profile views and can be found in the Profile View Label Styles Crossing collection on the Settings tab in Toolspace.

Level Options

Specifies how the level of each crossing marker and/or label is determined.

  • Use Object: The elevation is read from the object properties.
  • Surface: The level of a selected surface is used.
  • Profile: The level of a selected profile is used.
  • Manual: The level specified in the Level Value column is used.
  • <set all>: Used at the category level to specify the level option for all crossing objects in the category.
Level Value

Specifies the level of the crossing object and label when the Level Options property is set to Manual. Click <set all> for a category to specify a level for all crossing objects of the category that are set to the Manual Level Options property.

Displays the level value for the crossing object and label when the Level Options property is set to Use Object, a surface, or a profile.

Note: Crossing alignments are shown as vertical lines in the profile view rather than as markers because they don't have levels, but you can specify a level value for the crossing alignment labels.
Pick Objects

Click to select objects in the drawing and add them to the profile view.
