Place components

Each row puts a component on the sections from one chainage to another (the same chainage for one section) and on the plan. It sits on a layer: at the point of that layer with the given name – the Point name of the template element, e.g. Toe or Shoulder – or, with no name, at the offset; Dx moves it outwards, Dy up. Both sides puts it on the left too, mirrored.

Its sizes – "W=0.9; D=1.2" – change only this placement. Symbols (culverts, poles, masts) can be repeated on the plan every so many metres and turned to a skew; the remark is written beside them. The preview shows the section as it will be drawn; ◀ ▶ step through the sections.

OK keeps all the rows as one step of Undo; Cancel puts them back.

Commands

  • CXPLACE

    Place components on the sections…

    Put components on a range of sections and on the plan: at a named point of a layer (the toe, the shoulder) or at an offset, on one or both sides, moved out or up, with their own sizes – a drain at both toes, a culvert at a chainage, poles every 50 m.

  • CXBLOCKS

    Components – drains, culverts, track, bridges…

    The component library: RCC U-drains with cover slabs, masonry and earthen drains, box and pipe culverts, retaining walls, rails, sleepers, ballast and the whole track, OHE masts, bridge decks, girders and piers, crash barriers, kerbs, poles and fences – drawn as built with their materials. Make your own with parameters (W, D, T …), keep them in your library, export and import them.
