Topography

Type

On the Input tab of the Road Design form, double-click (or click on the Select icon) to select one of the wireframe types in the current project. A wireframe type is a name used to categorise a wireframe. All wireframes, no matter what their type, are the same - collections of triangles, attributes and metadata.

Name

Double-click (or click on the List icon) to select the name of the topographic surface you want to use as input to the process. You can also use the Pick from Vizex button (or select the context menu option where available) to collapse the form and interactively select the required Wireframe to insert and return to the form.

Centre Line

Specify the name of the field containing values which define whether data points will be joined by a line i.e. strung. If successive records have the same value in this field, a line will join the points.
