Alignments and profiles, Part 2

Module overview

Alignment objects can represent road centerlines, pipe networks, and other construction baselines. One of the first steps in roadway, railroad, or site design is to create a horizontal alignment, and then use profiles to show surface elevations along the alignment. 

After completing this module, you will learn how to:

• Create alignments with/without curves, add lines, curves and spirals
• Create an alignment from a pipe network
• Work with surface profiles
• Create and modify a profile
• Build alignment and profile label types
• Work with alignment and profile labels, and alignment tables
