TO CREATE THE VERTICAL ALIGNMENT

As with the Horizontal Alignment, the Vertical Alignment can be created several ways.

To create the Vertical Alignment through COGO see "Civil Geometry", Part I, Chapter 21 of the Geopak 2001 Manuals. That chapter explains several ways to create the Vertical Alignment non-graphically. If the Vertical Alignment has already been designed by another software or if you've already laid out the alignment on paper and the VPI information is known...that would be a way to store the vertical alignment in Geopak. The syntax for that type of input is shown below under ASCII to COGO.

Since Geopak 2000 there are now 2 ways to create the Vertical Alignment graphically. Each will be explained below:

Brief explanations of three popular ways to create a Proposed Vertical Alignment are explained below.
