File Formats
Novapoint Rehab can Open, Import or export (Save As) several file formats. Below is a short description of these formats.
Table 4: Description of available formats
Importing KOF Data
When opening a KOF-file, the file is analyzed according to feature codes. Unknown feature codes must be defined before the process can continue.
The unknown feature codes are shown in the left side of the dialog. The feature code is dragged to its corresponding column in the dialog; Left (track), Centre or Right (track). Only defined feature codes will be used for line calculation. It is therefore not necessary to edit the in-data file before opening it in Nova Track.
This dialog can also be accessed from the button Edit feature codes (on the tab General) of the dialog Options.
See also Input Data.
If a KOF or PXY-file is opened, the dialog NovaTrack Analyze PlugIns: will pop up. The dialog enables to select the method of analysis. Before the analysis can continue, a method of analysis must be selected.
Before this dialog is opened, a sorting of data is done, in order to eliminate duplicate points or measuring errors. Status for the sorted data is shown in the lower, right side of the dialog. If many points are considered as measuring errors or if there is many duplicate points, a manual control of the file is recommended.
In addition to this, calculated length is shown, based on the horizontal distance between the points, and is only displayed as information.
Choose desired method of analysis for the list:
The NovaTrack- and the Rehab-method are configurable.
OK - Analyze
After the method is chosen, the analysis is started by choosing OK – Analyze.
If there are problems with running an alignment calculation with specific in-data, it is often useful to try different methods of analysis and/or trying different configurations for the methods. See Methods of Analysis for detailed description of methods and demands on in-data.
Configure NovaTrack v 3.0
It is possible to choose whether the method should calculate with or without transition curves during analysis.
Configure Rehab v 1.0
Minimum straight-line length: This refers to the minimum length for straight lines in the line calculation.
Maximum error tolerance: Is used in the least square method for establishing straight lines from the measured data.
Transition Curves: The minimum value for radii without transition curves before and after.
Edit
The menu options depend on the active window (Horizontal Map/Vertical Map).
This is no Edit menu when the window Diagrams is active.
Tips:
For editing/deleting, double click the element of the alignment (horizontal/vertical).
The element properties dialog will pop up.
For further details, refer the topic Element Properties below.
Undo

MOUS_ICO Toolbar: Edit > Change Direction
MOUS_ICO Menu: Edit > Change Direction (D)
Vertical Geometry
Novapoint Rehab uses NYLP for calculation of vertical alignment. NYLP is developed for The Norwegian Road Administration.
The vertical alignment is described with the geometrical elements (straight-lines/grades and vertical curves) in the vertical plane. The vertical alignment is calculated from the vertical angular points and radius between the straight lines.
The NYLP-format defines the vertical alignment by the chainage and elevation of the vertical angular points together with the radius at the vertical angular point. At the start and end point of the vertical alignment, the radii are set to 0.00.
Editing the vertical alignment can be done in the following three manners:
Elements can be inserted (see Insert Angular Point below) or deleted (see Delete Angular Point below).
The curve radii can be edited/modified, either by changing the radius or the length. The correlation between curve radius and length is L=R*sd, where sd is change in grade along the vertical curve.
The position of fix points can be edited/modified. This can be done by changing the position of the vertical angular point and/or elevation, or by moving the fix points of the straight lines.
In case editing the vertical geometry makes it mathematically insolvable (Calc Not OK), an error message will then be shown.
Insert Angular Point
Use this function to insert vertical curve element in vertical alignment.
Run the function to insert the curve element.
If the program is unable to calculate the alignment with the newly inserted element, an error message and Calc Not OK (on status bar) are shown.
If the calculation fails (Calc Not OK), the vertical alignment (elements) is to be edited/modified until the calculation is successful.
Choose Undo to bringing back the last successful line calculation.
Activate the window Vertical Map and run the function from the following locations in the window Novapoint Rehab:
MOUS_ICO Toolbar: Edit > Insert Angular Point
MOUS_ICO Menu: Edit > Insert Angular Point (Ins)
The program prompts (on status bar) for insertion point.
Pick point for inserting an angular point
Pick the insertion point for the angular point.
Tips:
When AutoSnap is active, the reference point will automatically snap to nearest measured point.
F9 is the toggle switch for AutoSnap.
The dialog New Vertical Point will pop up, in which the following can be defined:
Position of the vertical angular point
Elevation
Radius of the vertical curve (default 5000.0m)
Click the button OK to calculate the new vertical alignment. If the calculation fails (Calc Not OK on the status bar), the vertical alignment (elements) is to be edited/modified until the calculation is successful.
Delete Angular Point
Use this function to delete the active vertical curve element and join the preceding and succeeding straight-line (grades) element as one element.
The active element is marked with a thicker line width in the window Vertical Map.
Select the curve element (by clicking on it), which is to be removed. The selected (active) element will be locked (red color lock on the Status Bar).
If the program is unable to calculate the alignment after deleting the curve element, an error message and Calc Not OK (on status bar) are shown.
If the calculation fails (Calc Not OK) after deleting the curve element, the vertical alignment (elements) is to be edited/modified until the calculation is successful.
Choose Undo to bringing back the last successful line calculation.

Element properties
The alignment (horizontal/vertical) can be edited in two ways:
Fix points can be moved.
Radii/Parameters/Length can be changed.
The dialog box for editing the alignment elements can be activated by double click on the element, which is to be edited.
Depending on the element, from which the dialog is activated (Curve, Straight Line or Transition Curve), it will show the respective properties.
The dialog is also sensitive to the active widow (horizontal/vertical map).
It is possible to keep open the dialog for both the horizontal and vertical alignment (to work with both horizontal and vertical alignment).
Horizontal Map
Input
The values of radius, parameter, length, and coordinates of fixed points can be changed, either by typing in values or using the Spin buttons next to the fields.
Line calculation is done simultaneously when input values are changed using the Spin buttons.
When values are changed using edit fields, click the button Calculate or the key ENTER to calculate the alignment.
The element type (fixed, partly, approx, appr. Radius) is displayed.
For a more detailed description of fixed points and the principles of line calculation, refer to Line Calculation.
Parameters
Editing element parameters (Radius, Length, and Fixed Points):
For curves, radius can be changed.
For transition curves, length or parameter can be changed.
For straight lines, coordinates of fixed points can be changed.
Only the fixed points that are in the white fields can be edited.
Notes:
Gray fields cannot be edited.
The fixed points in the grey field shall not be used in the line calculation, and thus do not affect the alignment.
Fix points can be edited in two ways:
Changing the coordinates in the dialog.
Dragging the fix point in the window Horizontal Map.
For changing the coordinates in this dialog, refer to Input above.
For dragging a fixed point, follow the below procedure:
Position the cursor over the fix point, it should be activated and displayed as a filled yellow circle.
Press and hold down the left mouse button and drag the fix point to its new position.

Minimum vertical lift
This value moves the reference line (zero-level) in the vertical offset window. When adjusting the vertical alignment for rail/road tracks, it is often desired that the existing track is lifted, rather than lowered or left unchanged. The value at the field Minimum vertical lift moves the reference level in the diagram to this level. Unit is meter.
The measured points are left unchanged, but when editing, the reference level is easier to see.
