I'm going to start a brand-new file here.
00:17
And I am going to go to the Menu browser to save it.
00:21
And I'll save this as the cross-section sheets.
00:31
I'm going to minimize the sheets at manager. We will be back in here in a moment.
00:36
But I do need to bring in the surfaces.
00:39
I'll bring in the existing ground.
00:45
I'll right click on the "Road subgrade" to bring that in so we can see where that surface ended up.
00:57
And also, the alignment,
01:03
a reference on the alignment as well as the profile,
01:17
and the existing ground.
01:19
And I will bring in the corridor so that we can see the corridor sections.
01:24
This may or may not be necessary but it can help with labeling in particular.
01:28
Again, it looks for the alignment and profile that you have for that, and we'll bring that in.
01:34
I'm going to zoom extents, and I'll select on the surface, the existing surface.
01:40
Right click, go to "Surface properties" and change that to border only so we can see better what's going on.
01:48
Now, unlike my volume calix, I am going to do a views along this but not as close together as I did for the volume calix.
01:57
I will go to the Home tab of the ribbon, sample line tool, I'll right click and choose 19 is the alignment base for this.
02:06
I am going to change the style of the sub grade to the finish round style and the corridor style from basic to all codes.
02:18
I'll click "OK" and then "OK".
02:22
Now come up here to buy range of stations.
02:25
And I'm going to go true to true.
02:27
I'm going to go from beginning to end of this project.
02:30
I am going to go 75 feet on each of these,
02:36
and I'm going to do 200 feet, for tangents, and for curves,
02:44
because we're showing things at certain stationing along there.
02:49
I'm not going to choose the additional sample lines because that won't be needed for our particular viewers.
02:54
I click "OK".
02:56
And then with that in place, I'll take a quick look to see if any of the sample lines aren't quite wide enough.
03:02
And it seems they are all wide enough for our design here.
03:08
I'm going to right click to let it know that I'm done.
03:10
And again, checking just to make sure that it's done, and we'll put those labels out for me.
03:15
Now, before I do this, I do want to set the scale of my file to the scale of my cross-section sheets or what I intend to use for that.
03:25
The reason is, when I create cross-section views, they will use the scale of the drawing file to space them out and make them look right.
03:33
So, I'm going to change this to a 1 to 20 scale.
03:36
That will change the text of any labels and so forth.
03:40
But that will also make it more readable on the page when we create the cross section views.
03:45
I'll go to the profile and section views panel, the section views dropdown, and create multiple views.
03:52
In here, I'm going to leave the automatic.
03:54
So, I'm going to print all of these on the screen.
03:57
I'm going to go to the next tab here.
04:00
This is where I can identify what scale I'm using.
04:03
I'm using the production placement.
04:06
In the ellipsis button, I'm going to use the architectural section descale.
04:10
If you don't see the correct sheet here, you can assign a different drawing file that will give you the correct sheets here.
04:17
I'm just going to use the 20 scale. So, I'll say, "OK" to that.
04:21
I'll say "Next".
04:22
The offset range I'll leave alone for here.
04:24
The elevation range, because there's so much elevation difference here, I am going to let it be automatic so we can see the full section views.
04:32
But you can say user specified and adjust that depending on your project.
04:39
The section display options, and those are already set so existing finished in all codes is what I want.
04:45
I'll click on "Create section views", click the lower left hand corner of those section views and that will drop those in along here.
04:53
Now, I will take a look at these, and you can see the roadway, the existing ground.
04:58
There is a datum surface under here as well.
05:02
The corridor itself-- the corridor shape itself should be bringing in labels.
05:07
Now, I'm going to select on-- actually, I'm going to select on the section view grid.
05:13
Go to the section view group properties, and go to the Sections tab where it says all codes.
05:20
I'll click that dropdown, and I'm going to pick "Basic".
05:23
Say "OK".
05:30
Now, some of the views are quite large.
05:32
But to get the full display of our design, that may be necessary in this case.
05:37
But you can shorten those up if you have the ability to.
05:41
Now, with these views in place, I am going to return back to the Output tab of the ribbon.
05:46
Next to the Plane and profile tools is the Create section sheets button.
05:50
I'll select that button.
05:52
And then I'm going to say the layout name-- naming convention there is section sheet--
05:58
I am going to see this sheet set should use the Add to existing sheet set.
06:03
I'll click the ellipsis button, browse over to our project and find that Park Bridge DST.
06:07
That's our sheet set file that we have created.
06:10
And we've already added plan and profile sheets too.
06:12
I'll click on that, click "Open".
06:16
And then look down below at the storage location and then say "Create sheets".
06:19
Now, this will ask to save the file.
06:22
This will create the layout tabs in this file down below as well as add them into the project here.
06:28
So right now, we've got section view groups.
06:31
I'm going to right click on that subset, say rename subset to section views.
06:42
I'll click "OK" and drop that in.
06:45
And you can see all of those sheets are in place.
06:48
We can also go into each individual sheet to see how they're laid out and how they look in context of the sheet themselves.
06:58
I'll click "Save".
07:01
And now, the section sheets and the plan production sheets or plain in profile sheets are done.
07:07
They can be published from this sheet set manager into our project.
00:14
I'm going to start a brand-new file here.
00:17
And I am going to go to the Menu browser to save it.
00:21

00:31

07:01
And now, the section sheets and the plan production sheets or plain in profile sheets are done.
07:07
They can be published from this sheet set manager into our project.
