Use this vista to view and edit numeric data about curves and tangents at a PVI or for a specific sub-entity in a profile.
If
PVI Based is selected in the Profile Layout Tools, the vista displays PVI data. If
Entity Based is selected, the vista displays entity data.
Use the Profile Entities vista to navigate through all entities that make up the profile. You can select an entity in the Profile Entities vista and then edit it in the Profile Layout Parameters dialog box. Attributes in the Profile Entities vista and Profile Layout Parameters window are automatically updated as the profile is edited.
The display can be filtered to show a selected range of entities along a profile.
The Profile Entities vista is like a spreadsheet. Each row represents a profile entity and each column represents an attribute for that entity. You can resize, move, and copy columns.
The first column (No.) is pinned and always displayed. It does not move when you use the scroll bar.
Two column configurations are available: default and criteria-based design. To switch between the configurations, or to create your own configuration, right-click a column heading, and click Customize Columns.
This window remains open when you grip edit the profile or enter another command. The window closes when you either delete the currently selected profile, click the X button, or click
Profile Grid View on the Profile Layout Tools.
The Total Curve Length value shows the total vertical curve length, whereas the Length property shows the length of the solved portion of the curve geometry, such as when tangents are attached along the curves.
- The Total Curve Length property is available for all vertical curves.
- The Total Curve Length property is editable for fixed circular and fixed parabolic vertical curves that you create by specifying a high or low point.
Notifications
If design criteria has been applied to the profile, a
warning symbol is displayed next to sub-entities that violate the specified design criteria.
A horizontal change notification symbol
is displayed next to sub-entities that are affected by changes to the associated alignment. If you select the option on the
Profile Locking tab of the
Profile Properties dialog box to display notification symbols, the symbols are displayed in the
Profile Entities vista when working in
Entity-Based mode. However, the symbols are not displayed in the
Profile Entities vista when working in
PVI Based mode. These symbols are also displayed on the affected entities in the drawing.
