You can create a point by specifying a station, offset, and rod height from the current centerline. The elevation is computed by algebraically adding the rod reading to the current value set with the Set Height of Instrument command.
To create a point along a centerline using a rod reading from the Survey Command Window
- In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click the network to edit, and click Survey Command Window.
- Click Centerline menu
Station/Offset Rod. - Enter the station.
- Enter the offset.
- Enter the rod reading.
- Optionally, enter a description for the point.

Command Syntax
CL ROD (point) [station] [offset] [rod] (description)
| Parameter | Definition |
|---|---|
| point | The point identifier for the new point. You do not need to assign a point number if auto point numbering is on. |
| station | The station of the new point. |
| offset | The perpendicular distance from the centerline to the new point. |
| rod | The rod height. This value is subtracted from the height of instrument elevation to determine the elevation of the new point. |
| description | An optional description associated with the point. |
