You can specify sample line group properties, and by extension the sample lines in that group, that control the group’s content and format.
For example, for an existing sample line group, you can use the Sample Line Group Properties dialog box tabs to apply major changes to a sample line group by changing general properties:
- Information. Specifies the sample line group’s name and description.
- Sample Lines. Specifies the default properties of the sample lines that are included in the sample line group. Also, you can specify the default label style. By changing the default label style here, you instantly change the sample line’s displayed appearance.
- Sections. Specifies the properties that draw and manage the section associated with the current sample line group.
- Section Views. Specifies the properties that draw and manage the section view associated with the current sample line group.
- Material List. Specifies the properties of material lists associated with the current sample line group. Each list represents quantity takeoff calculation criteria for the specified materials.
Sample line properties display and specify data only about that sample line. Sample line group properties display and specify rules for creating sample lines by range of stations or from corridor stations.
