The intersection is located where the radial distance from a specified point crosses the alignment.

To create points at distance/alignment intersection

  1. Select settings and create styles, layers, point groups, and description keys. For more information, see Before You Create Points.
  2. Home tab Create Ground Data panel Points Menu Create Points - Intersections Distance/Alignment .
  3. Select an alignment object.
  4. Specify the offset distance by doing one of the following:
    • Enter a distance.

    • Use Transparent commands to specify a point to define the offset.
  5. Specify the radial point by doing one of the following:
    • Pick a point in the drawing.
    • Use Transparent commands to specify the point.

    In the drawing, an X marks each intersection point. If only one intersection is located then the point is automatically created.

  6. Specify the radius by doing one of the following:
    • Enter a distance.
    • Pick a point in the drawing.
    • Use Transparent commands to specify a point to define the offset.
  7. 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.
  8. Enter a description, or press Enter to skip the description.
  9. Enter an elevation for the point, or press Enter to skip the elevation.
