Title: Surface Cross Sections
Post by: phubb1 on August 25, 2021, 06:38:59 PM

Hi Lars

May I ask if it would be possible to add a function to plot cross sections with Station 0 at the bottom rather than the top.
I have a highway where the stationing goes up - ( from south to north ) Having the cross section going in the same direction would be very helpful.

Many thanks

Hi,

I'm not sure i get this, could yo be more precise. Do you want the cross section set in opposite direction? (start from last section and then continue to the first)

Hi Lars

I hope I can explain.
Usually Station 0 cross section is at the top of a series of sections.
I have an alignment where Station 0 is at the bottom ( to the south of the last Station with chainages increasing in a northerly direction) What I would find helpful if the Cross Section for Station 0 when plotted was at the bottom of the group of sections with the others above.
Like this :-

Station 100     Cross Section 100
Station 80       Cross Section 80
Station 60       Cross Section 60
Station 40       Cross Section 40
Station 20       Cross Section 20
Station 0         Cross Section 0


Regards

Current update 749 include cross-sections in reverse direction.
