ROADCALC – Construct Typical Sections
PT codes are attached to the typical section to allow for special processing (e.g., breaklines from PT codes, attaching to
alignments/profiles). They can be placed on any of the typical section points. A suggested method for placing PT codes
might be to
1) place a PT code of 1 at the centerline point (i.e., X offset=0);
2) place a PT code at each point as you move out from the centerline of 1 more than the previous code
(e.g., 2 for the top width edge, 3 for an inside edge of a berm, 4 for the outside edge of the berm, etc.)
For more info on the use of PT codes, refer to Eagle Point’s online documentation or help.
Click (“Define Typical Section” icon) to define your typical section drawing (update numeric data).
