Move Point Relative (Section View)

(This functionality is available with the Profiles and Design module)

Allows section points in long and cross sections to be moved to a precise location, relative to its current position or relative to another section point.

This function can be accessed from both the long and cross section views Profiles Task / Edit / Move Point / Relative.

Item	Used to
Edit Point:	Click on this radio button to inform the system that you are going to snap onto the point that is to be moved. When the point is selected it will display the Chainage / Distance and Elevation of a Long Section point or the Offset and Elevation of a Cross Section point.
Reference Point:	Click on this radio button to inform the system that you are going to snap onto a Reference Point to move the Edit Point with respect to it. When the point is selected it will display the Chainage / Distance and Elevation of a Long Section point or the Offset and Elevation of a Cross Section point.
Horizontal Shift:	Enter the horizontal shift that you want to move the Edit Point. The Horizontal Shift is always applied with respect to the Reference Point. Alternatively you can snap to two section points to obtain the difference between the two.
Vertical Shift:	Enter the vertical shift that you want to move the Edit Point. The Vertical Shift is always applied with respect to the Reference Point. Alternatively you can snap to two section points to obtain the difference between the two.
Apply:	Move the Edit Point to the position obtained by applying the Horizontal and Vertical shifts to the Reference Point location. Points can be moved that have vertical parabolas attached to them. If there is room to maintain the geometry of the vertical curves the point will be moved. If there is insufficient room to maintain the vertical curves a dialog box will appear asking for confirmation to move the point and delete the curves. If you answer No the point will be restored to its original position.
Close:	Close the dialog box.

Note: By default the Reference Point will default to the same as the Edit Point, as in most cases the Edit Point will be being shifted by a given amount with respect to its current position. After selecting the Edit Point the focus will be on the Horizontal Shift field. If you want to move the Edit Point with respect to another point you must select the Reference Point radio button.
