Creating a New Point by Station, Offset, and Vertical Distance

The elevation is computed by subtracting the prism height from the instrument height, then algebraically adding the vertical distance.

To create a point along a centerline using a vertical distance from the Survey Command Window

1. In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click the network to edit, and click Survey Command Window.
2. Click Centerline menu Station/Offset Vertical Distance.
3. Enter the point number of the point you want to create.
   Note

   If auto point numbering is on, then the next point is displayed.

4. Enter the station of the new point. The station can be a positive or a negative value.
5. Enter the offset of the new point. The offset can be a positive or a negative value.
6. Enter the vertical distance.
7. Optionally, enter a description for the point.
