Curve Line to Element - Creates a line with an arc transition to another element at zero degrees skew angle, applicable only when the To element is a curve, Offset locked at zero. By Angle to Element - Creates a line without any transition at user defined skew angle, Offset locked at zero. Line to Element - Constructs a line at a skew to a reference element. Line Between Arcs - Constructs a line between two previously placed arcs. Simple Line From Element - Creates a line without any transition from another element at zero degrees skew angle, Applicable only when the From element is a curve, Offset locked at zero. Creates a line with a spiral transition from another element at zero degrees skew angle, applicable only when the From element is a curve, Offset locked at zero. Curve Line From Element - Creates a line with an arc transition from another element at zero degrees skew angle, applicable only when the From element is a curve, Offset locked at zero. By Angle From Element - Creates a line without any transition from another element at a skew angle you define, Offset locked at zero. Line From Element - Constructs a line at a skew from a base element. Chamfer Between Points - Planes a corner, example, it alters an existing intersection by inserting a line between the elements. |

Modify
|
Start Station - Assigns stationing to an element. Add Station - Defines a station equation at a designated location on an element. Add Internal Station Equation - Adds station equations at the end of each curve set of an offset alignment in order to match the station of a primary alignment. Add Single Internal Sation Equation - Add a single station equation at the end of an identified curve set of an offset alignment in order to match the station of a primary alignment. Copy Element - The Copy Element tool creates a new instance of visible geometry only. Transpose Element - Reverses the direction of the identified element. Insert Fillet - Inserts a curve into a previously created element. Append Element - Constructs a complex element by appending additional elements in a previously established complex element. |

Complex Geometry
|
Complex by Element - Constructs a complex element of previously placed elements by joining them in sequence. Complex by PI - Creates a linear element with curves based on user input of PI (point of intersection) locations. The curves can include transitions or set the radius to zero for no curves at the PI. Complex by Redefine - Replicates an element at a specified distance from the original. Define by Best Fit - Constructs an element that best fits a course defined by a selected linear object. Geometry Builder - Allows the input and editing of geometry in a table format. Geometry Connector - |
