Survey / Draw curvature graph

Draw curvature graph command can be used to display the curvature information of a filtered line string and the geometry components in a graph.

To draw a curvature graph:

1. Select a line string element using the CAD Selection tool.

2. Select Draw curvature graph command from the Survey pulldown menu.

This opens the Draw curvature graph dialog:

road_draw_curvature_graph

3. Define settings and click OK.

4. Define the location of the graph drawing with a data click in a CAD view.

This draws the graph as cell element into the CAD file. The graph is drawn on the active level.

SETTING

EFFECT

Select mode

Defines for which geometry the graph is drawn: Horizontal or Vertical.

Estimation length

Specifies the length of a line string segment used for estimating the curvature. Higher values reduce the oscillations in curvature values.

Type of smoothing

Determines the smoothing mode: None, Moving average, Moving median, or Lowpass filter.

Number of points

Number of points used for smoothing.

Station step

Determines the horizontal scale markings in the graph.

Curvature step

Determines the vertical scale markings in the graph.

Show segments

If on, components of an existing geometry are drawn in the graph using the selected color.

The application uses the same graph drawing if the command is performed for a second time during the same work session. The connection gets lost if the Component fitting main window is closed.
