Changing Station Frequency

Product Documentation

View Original

You can add or modify the frequency of stations in a corridor region using the EditCorrRegionFreq command.

Station frequency can be specified by referencing portions of the existing alignment and profile geometry in a region.

For example, you can specify assembly insertion frequency for the following components of a corridor region:

  • Along tangents. Specify the assembly insertion frequency along the tangent portion of an alignment.
  • Along curves. Specify the assembly insertion frequency along the curve portion of an alignment.
  • Along spirals. Specify the assembly insertion frequency along the spiral portion of an alignment.
  • Along profile curves. Specify the assembly insertion frequency along the curve portion of the profile.
  • At specific points. Specify whether assemblies should be inserted at specific geometry points, including horizontal geometry, superelevation critical, profile geometry, and profile high and low points.
Note

If both an assembly frequency setting that references horizontal geometry and a setting that references vertical geometry apply to a portion of a corridor, the setting that results in a smaller interval is used. For example, if a segment is both a horizontal tangent and a vertical curve, and the vertical curve frequency adds assemblies at more frequent intervals, the frequency specified for vertical curves is used.

You can also modify station location and frequency by manually adding stations.

To change the station frequency for a region using the ribbon

  1. In the drawing, click the corridor.
  2. Click Corridor tabModify Region panelEdit Frequency.
  3. Select a region on the corridor.
  4. In the Frequency To Apply Assemblies dialog box, modify the properties as required.
  5. To manually add a station, click . Select the station location in the drawing.
  6. To add a description for the station, click the Description field. Enter the description.
  7. Click OK.

  1. In the drawing, click the corridor, then right-click and click Corridor Properties.
  2. In the Corridor Properties dialog box, click the Parameters tab.
  3. Click the Frequency field for the region to which you want to add stations.
  4. In the Frequency To Apply Assemblies dialog box, modify the properties as required.
  5. To manually add a station, click . Select the station location in the drawing.
  6. To add a description for the station, click the Description field. Enter the description.
  7. Click OK.

To change the station frequency for a region using the Prospector list view

  1. In Toolspace, expand the Corridors collection, and then expand a corridor.
