Sections
The cross-section at any station — the corridor's shape cut across the road, with the ground beneath it.
The Sections tab
Select a corridor and open the Sections tab. It shows the cross-section at the current station: offset across the horizontal axis, elevation up the vertical axis, drawn from the corridor's assembly with the existing ground overlaid (sampled from the target surface).
Navigating stations
- Use the station spin-box, the slider, or the prev/next buttons to move along the corridor.
- The section resamples lazily as you move, so scrubbing stays responsive.
- Hovering in the Profile view syncs the section station.
What you see
| Element | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Section lines | The assembly's links at this station — banked by superelevation, widened on curves. |
| Existing ground | The target surface sampled across the section. |
| Cut / fill | Shading between the design section and the ground. |
| Daylight | The cut/fill slopes where the section reaches out to meet the ground. |
| Grid | Offset / elevation reference grid. |
To turn a station's geometry into a TIN and compute earthwork over the whole corridor, use the corridor surface tools — see Surfaces & volumes.
