To Create Points Perpendicular

Interpolates a point along a control line or element that is perpendicular to a specified point.

Create an interpolated point that is perpendicular along a line by selecting an object (1) that has two control points (2) and (3).

  1. Select settings and create styles, layers, point groups, and description keys.
  2. Home tab Create Ground Data panel Points menu Create Points - Interpolate Perpendicular .
  3. Specify the interpolation region by doing one of the following:
    • Pick a point in the drawing and enter a level for the first point. Specify the second point and then either enter D to specify the difference in level between the two points, or enter S to specify the slope from the first point to the second point.
    • Use Transparent commands to specify the point.
    • Enter E, and select an arc, line, feature line, plot line, or polyline. Specify the location for the perpendicular point, and then specify the offset distance by either entering the distance, picking a point, or using Transparent commands.
  4. Enter a description, or press Enter to skip the description.
