Axis - Elevation, line with height

A straight line will be connected to the previous element. The angle (orientation) of the new element is defined by the previous element.

Setting	Description
Station increment DS or station S	The length of the straight line is dependent on the angle of the previous element and DS or S. DS represents the station increment on the horizontal axis, S is the absolute value of station. Default: 0.0 [m]
Level or level difference	The level at the end of the new element has to be defined as absolute value or as difference to the begin of the element. Default: 0.0 [m]

Setting

Description

Station increment DS or station S

The length of the straight line is dependent on the angle of the previous element and DS or S. DS represents the station increment on the horizontal axis, S is the absolute value of station.

Default: 0.0 [m]

Level or level difference

The level at the end of the new element has to be defined as absolute value or as difference to the begin of the element.

Default: 0.0 [m]

Note: If the definition of the level creates an element with an orientation that does not fit to the angle of the previous element an additional point element doing the rotation is inserted.
