• Solve module
• Design module (Alignments with horizontal design standards)

The following controls are available:

Control	Description
Name	Type the name to assign to the created object or click to use the next available auto incremented name.
From	Input the from vertex (V1) for the bearing.
Bearing	Input the bearing from the first From vertex. Note: Configure the Direction Type in Units Options.
From	Input the from vertex (V2) for the distance.
Distance	Input the distance (D) from the second From vertex. Note: Configure the Distance Type in Units Options.
Height Method	Select one of the following methods to input a height for the vertex: Default Height Grade (%) Grade (1:) Height Height Difference Terrain Model Vertical Angle Zenith Distance
Alternate solution	Select or clear the checkbox to display the alternate solution.

• The Direction Type determines the name of the bearing control.
• The Distance Type determines the name of the distance control.
• If a plane coordinate system is selected for the project some of the direction and distance options will not be available.
• When creating alignments, in the Create Options, configure the Alignment Velocity and the Horizontal Standard to automatically create curves and combined curves at intersection points that comply with the design parameters.
