Equal Spaced Points
Used to insert a specified number
of points, points at a defined interval, or a combination of both.
You can access this tool from the following:
- Ribbon: Geometry > Horizontal > Point split button
The Equal Space Points tool inserts a specified number of points, points at a defined interval, or a combination of both. The points can be placed between two points or along an element and optional offset.
The tool places cells or text based on a feature definition or MicroStation points (zero length line) in the active MicroStation symbology if no feature definition is used.
The point can be placed in 2-D (X,Y) or 3-D (X,Y, elevation) in both 2D and 3D model views.
Placement Methods
The two placement methods determine the input prompts. These methods are:
-
Between Points
-
Along Element
Between Points
Spacing
Along Element
The points are placed along the element (or an optional offset), therefore a MicroStation or civil horizontal element is needed.
| Heads-up Prompt | Option |
|---|---|
|
Spacing |
Number of Points - specify the number of points which are placed equidistant apart. Interval - points are placed at the specified value. Even - points are placed at even stationing. Max Interval - equal spaced points which distance between points do not exceed the maximum spacing define. If the maximum spacing is exceed then it would equally divide the segment rather than have two points close together on the segment at the beginning or end. |
|
Offset |
Optionally, points are placed at an offset, i.e., the element is copied parallel at the distance (positive to the right, negative to the left) and that's where the points are placed. |
Manipulators
There are no graphic manipulators for equal spaced points.
Project Explorer and Properties
The point rule data is also accessible in the properties of the element.
