Surface Roads Toolbar

To access this toolbar:

This toolbar is a part of the Create Surface Roads screen

The Create Surface Roads screen is used to create roads on a reference topography, using a reference line and various parameters describing road profile and cut and fill batters.

After running the command, the Create Surface Roads dialog is displayed in a dockable control bar.

See Create Surface Roads.

A section of the Create Surface Roads toolbar

Along the top of the Create Surface Roads task panel there is a command toolbar containing access to road generation and topography update commands. These are convenient alternatives to the in-panel buttons below and typically represent a left-right workflow, although you can use them to generate interim data at any point.

These buttons control visibility of data displayed in the 3D or Road Elevation windows:

	Show/hide topography	shows or hides the unmodified topography (as shown in the Topography drop-down menu
	Show/hide reference line	If existing, toggles the visibility of the road reference line data for the current road. See Surface Road Reference Lines.
	Show/hide road sections	If existing, toggles the visibility of the road cross sectional profile data for the current road. See Road Parameters.
	Show/hide road outlines	Show or hide the boundary outline for the surface road.
	Show/hide road surface	Show or hide the surface data associated with the current road.
	Show/hide cut batter strings	If batters have been generated, this will hide or show the strings used to construct batter surfaces and solids associated with cut volumes. See Road Batters.
	Show/hide cut batter surfaces	Shows and hides all cut volume batter surfaces, if they have been generated. See Road Batters.
	Show/hide cut batter solids	Shows and hides all cut batter solids, if they have been generated. See Road Batters.
	Show/hide fill batter strings	As above, but for fill batter data
	Show/hide fill batter surfaces	As above, but for fill batter data
	Show/hide fill batter solids	As above, but for fill batter data
	Show/hide combined road/batter outline	If roads and batters have been generated, this hides or shows the strings representing the combined road/batter shapes.
	Show/hide updated topography	If a topography has been updated, this will hide or show the modified topography.
