Cross Section Line Data Fields

Cross Section Line data can be edited on either the Cross Section Line Grid Window of the Lines Grid or the Cross Section Line Property Sheet.

To view and edit all cross section line data, use the Property Sheet.

This table describes all the cross section line specific data which can be used to define a cross section line.

Section Data

Cross section line XYZ data is stored in the Section Data grid containing an entry for each vertex in the cross section.

Offset (cross chainage) values are automatically calculated from X and Y coordinates, but are not exported or imported when exporting to / importing from external files.

Levels can be updated by sampling a ground model using the Update from Ground Model button. See Updating Network Objects from the Ground Model for details.

3 Bed level Z (height) coordinate of the vertex Z Double   Z   0   0

 
4 Roughness Manning's n

Roughness value used when Roughness Type is set to N (Manning's n)

Enter the n value for the Manning's equation.

The roughness value applies between the point at which it is defined and the next point along the section. This means that the last value of Manning's n will have no effect, but it still needs to be defined.

 roughness_N Double            

 
6 New Panel Check to denote the start of a new panel new_panel Boolean
