Spline by Parallel OffsetSpline by Parallel Offset

Availability: Computations module.
Menu Selection: From the Computations task, select the Create/Spine command and the Method/Parallel command.
Functionality: associated points
Controls:
Actions:
  • The OK Button creates the spline and the new points.
  • Next
Notes:
  • The Elevation Drop Down will only be available if the elevation attribute is active.
  • The offset (i.e. distance) which is measured in a perpendicular direction from the existing spline to the new spline and points being created.
  • A negative offset will be applied to the left of the existing spline, whereas a positive offset will be applied to the right, according to the general direction defined by the Line Identifier
  • The points created will be given the attributes of the currently defined point attribute .
  • The new spline created will be given the attributes currently defined line attribute.
  • The identifier in the new point identifier control will be used for the first new point and any subsequent new points will automatically use the next unused point identifier.
  • If the system is in other than grid distances, the offset used will be the grid offset computed at the first point of the existing spline.
