Arrows Along Baseline

This dialog can be activated from the button Arrows along baseline < of the dialog Slope Arrows. When the button is activated, command prompts for:

Pick alignment:

Select the baseline, along which slope arrows are to be created.

The dialog Create Arrows along Baseline will pop up.

• The dialog is a floating window, which allows working on other Novapoint/CAD functions without exiting this dialog.

Arrow location

• The start chainage and the end chainage of the selected baseline will be displayed in the respective fields.

• The section of the selected line, for which slope arrows are to be located can be defined using the start and end chainage fields.

• The start and end chainages can also be defined by selecting the chainages on the baseline using the buttons (<) adjacent to these fields.

• Make use of object snap modes for precise selection of points.

• Interval: Define the interval (meter), at which the slope arrows are to be created.

Length of arrows

The length of the slope arrow can defined either with a fixed length or length to a delimitation line. Mark the desired radio button.

• Fixed length (meter) - Define the fixed length of the slope arrows.

• Length to delimitation line - The slope arrow will be created from the selected base line to a length up to the selected delimitation line.

  • Use the button (<) to select the delimitation line.

Direction

The direction of the slope arrow can be defined such that it is either perpendicular to the baseline or perpendicular to the delimitation line. Mark the desired radio button.

OK

When this button is activated, command prompts for:

Pick side: <0.00,0.00,0.00>:

Point at one side of the baseline to define on which side of the baseline the arrows should be placed.
