Work with profile view bands

00:04

Data bands can be added to a profile view to show information about the stations

00:09

existing ground and design elevations

00:12

and the design geometry.

00:14

The design information can include both horizontal geometry from the alignment

00:19

and vertical geometry from the profile.

00:23

Other types of bands can show pipe network information

00:27

in some bands.

00:28

We want to reference information from the ground surface as well as from the design.

00:33

For example, we might want to show depths of cut or fill.

00:37

For this reason, a data band can reference information from two profiles.

00:42

These are referred to as profile one and profile two in the data band.

00:48

Data bands typically show information at the

00:50

major grid interval of the profile view.

00:53

However, we often want to see additional information

00:56

at critical points on the design

00:58

where the horizontal or vertical geometry changes.

01:03

These critical points are always provided by profile one.

01:06

So in the bands, we are using profile one always references our design profile.

01:14

A selection of data bands can be grouped together in a band set

01:18

which can then be applied to a profile view.

01:24

We're going to add some data bands to this profile view.

01:27

Click on the profile view, right, click and go to profile view properties

01:33

in the profile view properties, go to the bands tab

01:38

theres a band already assigned in this view. So select it and delete it.

01:46

The bands are organized by the data types. They reference

01:50

profile data for stations, elevations and depths,

01:54

vertical geometry for profiles,

01:58

horizontal geometry, for alignments,

02:04

super elevation data

02:06

sectional data for cross section information,

02:10

pipe and pressure pipe data for pipe networks

02:15

can data for rail

02:17

and speed information.

02:20

First, we want to add a data band to show our station values.

02:24

So select profile data for the band type

02:27

and for the band style select station, vertical

02:33

bands can be added to the top or bottom of the view.

02:36

Make sure the location is set to bottom, then click add

02:41

additional labels can be added to the band at selected geometry points

02:45

in the geometry points, dialogue go to the alignment points tab,

02:50

we can place labels at the geometry points shown

02:53

we don't want to label curve midpoints. So deselect this

02:58

go to profile points.

02:60

We want additional labels at our design profile.

03:03

Geometry points not on the existing ground.

03:05

So make sure profile one is set to the design profile.

03:09

Mcallister boulevard lay out one

03:14

now change the band style to elevations to add profile elevation information,

03:20

set the geometry points as before

03:23

and ensure you change profile one to the layout profile

03:28

and add this band to the list.

03:31

Click apply to see the changes.

03:34

We now want to add the alignment geometry

03:37

set the band type to horizontal geometry

03:40

and the band style to geometry

03:43

and add it

03:45

profile. One is disabled for this band as it will only mark horizontal geometry.

03:53

Now at the vertical geometry using style geometry

03:58

change profile one in the grid to the layout, profile and click apply

04:06

the horizontal and vertical geometry bands have now

04:08

been added to the bottom of the view.

04:11

We should also have added a depth band to show amounts of cut and film,

04:17

set the band type to profile data

04:19

and set the band style to depth and click add

04:24

turn off curve midpoint in the alignment points

04:26

and set profile one to the layout profile.

04:33

We want this band to be placed underneath the elevations band.

04:37

So with the band selected in the grid, use the arrow buttons on the right

04:41

to move the band up the list,

04:46

make sure show labels is selected for all of the bands in the list.

04:51

Click OK and review the bands.

04:55

The elevation band shows both existing and proposed levels

04:59

and the depth band shows the difference between these

05:04

notice that additional labels have been placed at geometry points.

05:09

We've reviewed the bands and are now ready to apply these to our other profile view.

05:15

We'll do this by creating a band set that we can import to the other views.

05:21

Go back to the profile view properties.

05:24

The default interval for the data displayed on the bands

05:28

matches the major and minor grid interval. For the view,

05:32

you can turn that setting off here

05:34

and then specify for each band. The major and minor interval units

05:41

save the current list of bands as a band set

05:45

name, the new band set to road bands and click. OK.

05:51

The new band set is added to the list in the settings,

05:56

zoom and pan to the sycamore heights profile view.

06:00

Call up the view properties and on the bands tab, choose import bands set,

06:06

select the road bands and click. OK.

06:10

The bands are added to the list set profile.

06:13

One for each relevant band to the sycamore heights, layout profile and click. OK.

06:20

We've configured our data bands to display relevant information

06:23

that we can use for our road profile views

06:26

and we've saved them to a band set.

06:29

We can now apply our band set to other profile views

06:32

to provide us with information when designing and for drawing production.
