This subassembly is a general purpose utility to add a vertical surface link by vertical deflection.
A profile can be used when building a corridor model to allow variable vertical deflection.
Attachment
The attachment point is at the inside edge of the link. This subassembly can be inserted in the left or right direction from 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.

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.

Vertical Deflection |
May be used to override the fixed Vertical Deflection and tie the end-of-link to a profile. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey figures. |

Behavior
A vertical link is added from the attachment point for the given vertical deflection. If a profile name is given for the Vertical Deflection, the end of the link will match the profile elevation.
Layout Mode Operation
In layout mode, this subassembly displays the link for the given +/- vertical deflection.
Point, Link, and Shape Codes
None.
