Station equation

[ekoneo]

Hi,

I need to make a station equation on an aligment. In fact I did it. I saw back and ahead station values on the plan. But what about profile? only station values changing.

We started a road costruction on start station and end station at the same time. Constructions aproaches each other day by day. 6 months later the road project changed around middle of its aligment. So aligment extended nearly 1500 meters. We need to station equation to keep station and elevation values at the start and end of this road. Becouse all of these parts works has finished. When I did station equation aligment's lable values is ok. I espected about 1500 meters gap would be occured at around the profile.. to add aditional profile of the extended part. Unfortunatelly profile dosnt show extension gap. Also vice versa.. If station equation makes the aligment shorten, Profile should show a jump on the profile at this station equation. Am I worong or not? Help me please. Thanks

Dear Friend,

As I know when you have station equations the profile will not going to shift as the alignment. It will stay as it is. So I think you need to redraw the profile after the station equation.

How ever I think if you can create points on the old alignment at the profile geometry points with details of the profile given as point description (you have this option in point creation tool). Then you can set the station equation and adjust the alignment. Then you project those points to profile view and redraw the profile after the station equation.

This is what I propose. Hope someone will have brighter ideas.

Thanks

Copy the current profile and move it across the 1500 meter gap.  Trim (edit) the original to stop at the beginning of the gap. Trim (edit) the copy to start at the end of the gap.  Construct a new profile to fill in the gap.

Or, edit the current profile to break it at the beginning of the gap. Move the remaining portion 1500 meters across the gap. Edit in new pieces to fill in the middle.
