In vertical alignment, this is where we feed in the topo data and the design data

Feeding in data, both topo and design can be done in two ways;

i. Typing them in one by one,

ii. Loading from text file

Loading from text file is the most appropriate and time saving.

Topo

Vertical alignment requires the CL line data only. Arrange your data as in the table below

Station Elevation
0.00 2013.462
20.00 2014.638
40.00 2014.600
60.00 2014.458
80.00 2014.369
100.00 2014.155

Save the data into a note pad format as shown below

On vertical Alignment you can only load data when it’s on Note Pad format.

After saving the notepad, go to CivilCAD – Vertical Alignment and click on `Load section from a text
file`

Select where you saved your notepad upload and Apply

Do the same for the design
