Edit Heights

Every catenary element has at least two height specifications. These can be edited with the Edit Heights function. Heights are identified as ZO (upper z-coordinate) and ZU (lower z-coordinate).

For example, this could be the top of the pole or the bottom of the pole. The zero point for these heights is the Top of Rail.

If no catenary element was selected, the program will ask for a catenary element. Then, a dialogue in which the status can be set for all selected objects opens. The status has influence on the outputs. Only elements with the New Installation in Planning and New Installation Created status will be displayed in the pole and catenary list. Elements with another status will not be exported by the output function.

In the view mode, the graphic output can be selected for colours or layer of the catenary elements accordingly of the status. All elements of the same type and the same status can be displayed with the same colour or on the same layer.
