Slopes Card
The Slopes card is used to specify the cut and fill
slopes that will be used when computing the
location of the catch point. The default values
are the slopes stored in the template for the
section being staked. To override a default slope,
check the appropriate box and key in the new
slope. The new slope entered will always be used regardless of the
values stored in the templates. Changes to slopes will be reflected in
the V. Map card graphic.
Cut Slope: is the left and right slope, respectively, used when the
terrain requires a cut (the hinge point is located below the terrain’s
surface).
Fill Slope: is the left and right slope, respectively, used when the
terrain requires a fill (the hinge point is located above the terrain’s
surface).
Cut/Fill Hinge Points Cards
The Fill Hinge Points tab and the Cut Hinge Points tab are used to
select the segment where you want the hinge
point location to be computed from in situations
requiring a fill or a cut respectively. (The hinge
point will occur at the node of the selected
segment furthest from the centerline.) The
hinge point can also be defined at different
segments for the left and right sides of the road.
Left / Right: is the specified left and right segment, respectively, to
compute the hinge point. Changes to these fields will be reflected in
the V. Map card graphic.
Stake CP > : opens the next slope staking screen. The following
slope staking screens are identical to non-road layout slope staking
screens and are described starting on Page R-295.
