The following controls are available.

Control	Description
Name	Name assigned to the created object.
	Use the next available auto incremented name.
Mode	Select one of the following: Radiation - Create the next vertex from the same From point Traverse - Create the next vertex from the previously created vertex.
From	Input the start vertex.
Reference Direction	Input the direction from which to measure the angle.
Angle	Type the angle from the reference direction. Note: Positive angles are clockwise and negative angles are anti-clockwise.
Distance	Input the distance from the From vertex.
Height Method	Select one of the following methods to input a height for the vertex: Default Height Grade (%) Grade (1:) Height Terrain Model Height Difference Vertical Angle Zenith Distance

• Negative angles and distances can be entered.
• Select direction type and distance type in Units Options.
• If a plane coordinate system is selected for the project some of the direction and distance options will not be available.
• When creating a polygon the From vertex is the first vertex in the polygon.
• When additional vertices are created in Traverse Mode, the From vertex and Reference Direction are automatically entered.
