Defining span segment boundaries manually

You can manually define the span segment width when the automatic span width calculation has not provided a satisfactory result.

To set the span segment width

Choose the Span Boundary Polyline tool.
Click at the span boundary start point.
Click at the next span boundary point.
Continue to click span boundary points until all are defined.
Right click and select enter to close the operation.

Note: Boundaries with a span set of latitude (longitude) only affect latitude (longitude) span segment strips.

Regenerated design strips after modification of span width with span boundaries (shown inside ellipses).

The same span segment strips with the cross sections oriented to ninety degrees. This did not require manual span boundaries.
