Click Apply, and then OK. 6 In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, right-click the Point Groups collection. Click Properties. 7 In the Point Groups dialog box, select the Storm Manholes point group. Click twice to move Storm Manholes point group to the bottom of the display order. 8 Click OK. Notice that the point style for the STORM MH points has changed to an X, and the label has disappeared. This happened because when the Storm Manholes point group was placed below the _All Points point group, the _All Points point group’s point style and point label style settings took precedence over those of the Storm Manholes point group. 9 In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, right-click the _All Points point group. Click Properties. 10 In the Point Group Properties dialog box, on the Information tab, make sure that Point Style is set to Standard and Point Label Style is set to . Click Apply. 11 On the Overrides tab, select the Point Label Style box. Click Apply, and then click OK. This option ensures that the Point Label Style setting of the point group overrides the Point Label Style setting of the individual points included in the point group. 12 In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, right-click the Point Groups collection. Click Properties. 13 In the Point Groups dialog box, select the _All Points point group. Click to move the _All Points point group to the top of the display order. 14 Click OK. Notice that all point labels in the drawing are hidden. This happened because the _All Points point group’s point label style set to, and you placed the _All Points point group at the top of the display order.

The selection is helpful when you do not want parcels to be created when either intersecting alignments form closed regions or an alignment crosses an existing parcel. 5 Click the Design Criteria tab. The Starting Design Speed value specifies the default design speed at the alignment starting station. Design speeds can be specified at other stations along the alignment. If no other design speeds are specified, the Starting Design Speed is applied to the entire alignment. You will accept the default Starting Design Speed value for this exercise. The other options on this tab are used only if you want to ensure that the alignment design meets specified design criteria. You will not apply design criteria to the alignment in this exercise. You will learn how to use the design criteria feature in the Designing an Alignment that Refers to Local Standards (page 193) tutorial. 6 Click OK. The Alignment Layout Tools toolbar is displayed. It includes the controls required to create and edit alignments. 7 In the Alignment Layout Tools toolbar, click the drop-down list and select Curve and Spiral Settings. In the Curve and Spiral Settings dialog box, you can specify the type of curve to be automatically placed at every point of intersection (PI) between tangents. 8 In the Curve and Spiral Settings dialog box, for Type, select Clothoid. 9 Select the Spiral In, Curve, and Spiral Out check boxes. Enter the following values: ■. Click OK. You will not create labels for the existing ground profiles. You will specify a label set when you create a layout profile in the Using Layout Profiles tutorial (page 215). 16 Repeat Steps 14 and 15 for the other two profiles. 17 In the Create Profile View wizard, click Create Profile View. You are prompted to select the profile view srcin. 18 Use scroll bars on the window, as required, to move to a blank area at the lower right of the surface. Click at a suitable location for the lower left corner of the profile view grid. The profile view is drawn, with a grid, axes, title, and two data bands along the X axis, one above the grid and another below it. Because of its style, the left offset line is blue in color. In the next exercise, you will create another profile view using the same profiles. Then, you will change the style of the left offset.. Click OK. 9 In the Create Profile View wizard, click Create Profile View. You are prompted to pick a location for the profile view srcin. 10 Pan to a location above the top of the first profile view, then click in the drawing. The new profile view, PV - (2), is drawn. The left offset profile is the same color as the other two profiles. 11 Pan to the lower profile view, PV - (1). Notice that its left offset line has also changed. The left offset profile changed because you changed the style of the profile, which affects every instance of the profile in every profile view in the drawing. In the next few steps, you will see another way to modify profile style. 12 Select the PV - (1) profile view grid. Right-click and click Profile View Properties. 13 Click the Profiles tab. On this tab, you can change properties of a profile line after it has been drawn in a profile view. 14 On the Profiles tab, set your display to see the Style and Override Style columns. 15 In the Override Style column for the Left Offset, double-click the check box. In the Pick Profile Style dialog box, change the profile style to Existing Ground, then click OK. In the Profile View Properties dialog box, click Apply. The Left Offset profile changes to not bluein(reflecting the left Existing style) in profile view PV - (1), but PV - (2). The offsetGround profiles are different because you overrode the profile style for the particular profile view, but did not change the profile style. You can use a style override to preserve the profile style within a profile view, protecting it from later style changes. Further exploration: In the Profile View Properties dialog box, clear the Override Style check box for the left offset. Click the Style column for this offset, change it to Standard, then click Apply. This changes the style for the profile and affects both profile views in the drawing. If you want to use your drawing for the next exercise, before you close the Profile View Properties dialog box, reset the Override Style column for the left offset to Existing Ground for profile view PV - (1). from the list and click OK. 12 Click Create Profile View. 13 When prompted, pan and zoom to a clear area in the drawing window, then click to create the profile view. A new profile view is created. Notice that because you specified a shorter maximum inthe stepdrawing. 6, the profile viewtogrid is shorter theshorter other two profileheight views in In order fit the profilethan in the grid, the profile has been split in two segments. The full length and elevations of the red, layout profile are visible because you set the Split At setting to Layout (1) in step 9. Notice that there is a vertical axis in the middle of the profile view that displays the elevations for both split segments. 14 In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, expand the Alignments, Ridge Road, and Profile Views collections. Notice that a single new profile view (PV - (3)) was created. 15 On the Prospector tab, right-click PV - (3) and select Properties. 16 In the Profile View Properties dialog box, on the Elevations tab, under Elevation Range, change the Height to 20.000 ’. 17 Click Apply. Notice that in the drawing window, the profile view has been split into four segments to accommodate the new height. Now you will change the style of the first and last profile view segments. 18 In the Profile View Properties dialog box, in the Split Profile View Data table, in the No. 1 row, click in the Profile View Style column. 19 In the Pick Profile View Style dialog box, select Left & Bottom Axis from the list and click OK. 20 Repeat steps 18 and 19 to change the Profile View Style in row No. 4 to Full Grid. 21 Click OK. Three different profile view styles are displayed in the single profile view grid. While a split profile is displayed in a single profile view grid, it may have separate styles applied to each of its split segments. To continue this tutorial, go to Exercise 4: Creating Multiple Profile Views (page 239). when you were prompted to select a site in step 5. In the next few steps, you will move one of the two existing cul-de-sac road alignments out of its existing site and into the top-level Alignments collection. 7 In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, right-click Alignment - (4), which is the cul-de-sac alignment to the Northeast of the alignment you created in step 6.
