Long Section window

This window displays a cross-section through the length of a selected run of network objects.

One way to open the window is by selecting the (Long section pick) tool from the Tools toolbar and clicking a node or link object (or run) on the GeoPlan. Other ways are described in Displaying a long section.

Using this window you can:

• inspect a run of nodes and links
• edit network objects by accessing their property sheets

• view simulation results
• when scenarios are used, you are able to display more than one set of simulation results, which makes it easy to compare them
• insert a node into a link displayed in the window

You can have several long section windows open at the same time.
