How to obtain the X,Y coordinates of the grade line vertices and of the axis turning points?
Summary
MDT can list the X,Y coordinates of every vertex of a grade line —that is, of every change of slope— together with the X,Y coordinates of the turning points of the associated axis in plan. No special utility is needed for this: it is enough to create a segment combining the axis and the grade line and to use the Layer Setting Out option of the Setting Out menu.
Applies to
MDT — the documented query does not indicate a specific version.
Setting Out > Layer Setting Out on a segment made up of an axis and a grade line.
Symptoms
You need a list with the X,Y coordinates at every vertex (change of slope) of a grade line and the X,Y coordinates of the turning points of the associated axis in plan, and you do not know which option produces it.
Cause
This is not an error but a procedural question: the listing does exist, but it is obtained from a segment that combines the axis and the grade line.
Solution
Case: X,Y coordinates of the grade line vertices and of the axis turning points
Create a segment combining the axis and the grade line.
Run Setting Out > Layer Setting Out: it will show the X,Y coordinates at every vertex (change of slope) of the grade line and the X,Y coordinates of the turning points of the axis in plan.
If the problem persists
If the resulting list does not include the data you need, contact APLITOP technical support indicating exactly which data you need to list, and attach the segment you are working with.
