Controls
Control Description
Name Type a name for the first point, or click Last name to increment to the next available name.
Linear Object Object - Input the line or alignment to create points along or select multiple linear objects in the model view.
Reference Line: Input the reference line.
Note:
  • If a linear object is currently selected this control is not available.
Segments Type the number of segments required.
Insert points into object Select the checkbox to insert the created points into the linear object.
Notes
  • Type a value in the Segments control prior to picking the Linear Object to automatically create the points when the Linear Object is picked.
  • The heights of the created vertices will be interpolated based on the position along the linear object.
  • A line or alignment can contain a straight, spline, circular arc or transition curve.
  • Points are not created at the start and end of the line.
  • You can insert created points into straight or circular arc segments.
  • All segments or distances between points are of equal 3 dimensional length unless
    • 3D circular arc setting is cleared when creating a circular arc line segment.
    • the object is a transition curve.
    In these cases the segments or distances between points are of equal 2 dimensional length.
