Creating Points at Intersections

Product Documentation
Intermediate

Interpolates points where two entities intersect, or would intersect if extended.

Define the interpolation region by specifying the start and end control points, or click near the start point of an object.

Point settings, styles, layers, point groups, and description keys can all affect how a point is created or how it is displayed in the drawing. For more information, see Before You Create Points.

To create points at object intersections

  1. Select settings and create styles, layers, point groups, and description keys. For more information, see Before You Create Points.
  2. Click Home tabCreate Ground Data panelPoints menuCreate Points - InterpolateIntersection .
  3. Specify the interpolation region for the first intersection by doing one of the following:
    • Pick a point in the drawing and enter an elevation for the first point. Specify the second point and then either enter D to specify the difference in elevation 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, lot line, or polyline. Specify the offset distance by either entering the distance, picking a point, or using Transparent commands.
  4. Repeat step 4 to specify the second interpolation region.
  5. In the drawing, an X marks each intersection point. If only one intersection is located then the point is automatically created.

  6. Specify the intersection point by doing one of the following:
    • Click near the X on which you want to create the point.
    • Enter A to place points at both intersections.
  7. Enter a description, or press Enter to skip the description.
