SAC Help

Anonymous · ‎06-26-2015

Hello,

I come back for SAC 🙂
I'm in a particular case, I have a very simple type profile (two points and a line) but I want to add a condition to apply a variation on the width.
It will be:
3 if I am in alignment
5 if I'm in curve
liniéaire interpolation between 3 and 5 if I'm in spiral

PS: the horizontal alignment is made (Alignment, spiral, curved)

Thank you in advance for your idea.

The baseline.turndirection API function will return 0 if you are in a straight portion of the alignment but (to my knowledge) beyond that it can not differentiate if you are in a curve or a spiral and even if it could, it would not be able to provide the data necessary to interpolate for the spiral if you would also need to know where the spiral started and ended along the alignment.
