Definition of segment points by reference segment

Segment points related to points of a reference segment can be defined. To each reference point a point in the current segment will be created or changed. Optionally, two different tables may be build and stored in files, that consist of the distances between the points and the angles between the cross sections at the points, respectively.

SettingDescription
Add new points to segment

Existing points will be kept unchanged. If any point does not exist at a calculated station, a new one will be created.

Substitute points

Stations of existing points will be changed. If any point does not exist at a calculated station, a new one will be created.

Table of distances between points

A station dependent table will be created and written to a ASCII-file. It may be read into the project.

Table of angles between cross sections

A station dependent table will be created and written to a ASCII-file. It may be read into the project.

Ratio [0,1]

The normal lines to the axes in plan of both segments intersect each other with the given ratio. Ratio = 0 means, the line between reference point and destination point is normal to the axis of the reference segment, Ratio = 1 normal to the axis of the current segment.

Store dependencies to the original points

The references to the source points will be stored at the destination points. The calculation updates always the positions of the destination points.
