Reference station for horizontal alignment

[shaka09]

Aloha,

How do you set a reference point to start alignment 0+00.

For example, alignment goes thru intersection, but I want to start 0+00 at the intersection and (-) stationing before intersection.

I know I can take the distance before the intersection and start with a minus station, but this is extra steps compared to Land Development.


Mahalo in Advance.

Right-click on the alignment to pull up alignment properties, then click on
the Station Control tab. Click on the little button next to the X,Y
coordinates, and it will let you pick a point to be the reference point, and
you can set the reference station as well.

In the alignment properties dialog box, open the station control tab, and
set the "reference point" at the intersection. This will place 0.00 at the
intersection and start the alignment at a negative number.
