Output

In the Output Fields tab you can specify a number of optional numeric fields to determine what is written to the input file as a result of the process.

If a numeric field is specified which does not exist in the input file, then the process will create it. Any values that exist in the input file will be overwritten by the process.

Segment length

Specify the name of the field in which the length of each segment will be written.

Cumulative length

Specify the name of the field in which the cumulative length will be written. The cumulative length field contains the value at each point, starting with zero and ending with the total string length in the last point record.

Horizontal length

Specify the name of the field in which the horizontal length will be written. Horizontal Length values are the values projected on the East/North plane.

Cumulative Horizontal length

Specify the name of the field in which the cumulative horizontal length will be written. The cumulative horizontal length field contains the value at each point, starting with zero and ending with the total string horizontal length in the last point record.

East, North and Z differences

Specify the names of the fields in which the East, North and Z differences will be calculated. Difference values start at the first point. They are calculated as the difference between the second and first points of each segment.

Segment Gradient

Specify the name of the field in which the gradient of each segment will be written.

Gradient and Gradient Units

Select the Gradient Units in which the gradients are measured.

Zero vertical

Choose the zero vertical parameter. ZENITH means that 90 or 270 is horizontal; <90 or >270 is an elevation, and >90 and <270 is a depression. HORIZONTAL means that 0 is horizontal, positive values are elevations and negative values are depressions.

Segment azimuth

Specify the name of the field in which the azimuth of each segment will be written. Azimuth is measured clockwise from north, ranging from 0 to 360°.

Segment Inclination

Specify the name of the field in which the inclination of each segment will be written. Inclination is measured relative to the horizontal, ranging from +90° (vertically up) to -90° (vertically down).

The Segment Inclination value is equal to the Segment Gradient value when the gradient units are set to DEGREES and the Zero Vertical is set to HORIZONTAL.

Internal angle

Specify the name of the field in which the internal angle will be written.

The internal angle value (between two adjoining segments) is written in the record representing the middle point of the three-point polyline that defines the internal angle. i.e. the first point and the last point values of each string will be blank.

Angle Units

Select the format to be used for the Angle Units.
