Tools can accessed on the bottom bar and include measure tools.

Users have the following options - 

Measuring tools: Distance, Location, Area, Radius, Angle

Civil tools: Profile, Cross section: perpendicular, Cross section: 2 points, Station offset, and Civil Quantities.

 

• Distance can be measured by clicking on the initial point to be measured, then once again on the endpoint of the measurement.
  
  
  
• Location can be identified by selecting a point on the model the location information is needed.
  
  
  
• Area measures the area of a defined area.
  
  
  
• Radius measures the distance of a defined radius.
  
  
  
• Angle measures the degrees of a defined angle.
  

Note: The details of each of the measurements can be explored in Properties.

Civil Tools are marked with an early access icon and available to all users.

• Profile - The profile tool allows users to view the profile of an alignment or other linear geometry. After the selecting the tool, the user needs to select the alignment or linear geometry they want to view. After selection, a 2nd viewport will open which displays the vertical curve information of the selected element. Within the 2nd viewport the user can see Stations, Slopes, K/R Values, Intersect and Tangent points and more. When your cursor is in the profile view the elevation and station will also be displayed along with a match line in the plan view to show where you are in both profile and plan.
  
  
  1. Choose alignment from the list.
     
     
     
  2. Tap on model to confirm the selection of alignment for Profile to generate.
     
     
     
  3. Profile is generated in a second viewport.
     
     
     
  4. Pinch to zoom in / out in second viewport to explore details.
     
     
     
  5. View options are available for customization.
     
     
     
     
     Note: In order to have this level of detail in the profile view the design must be loaded from OpenRoads Designer. Loading from an older Civil product or through an i.dgn file will not include the alignment.
     
     On the left side of the profile view the profile button will show if there are additional profile associated with the alignment you selected.  Those can be turn on or off.
     
     The gear icon in the upper right of the profile view “Profile view options”  will allow you to turn on or off crossing geometry and text associated to the profiles.
     
     
• Cross section: Perpendicular - The Cross Section Tool view allows users to take a 2D slice of the model and view the elements in a 2nd viewport. Two cross section tools are available: Perpendicular Cross Section and 2 Points Cross Section. The Perpendicular Cross section allows the user to snap the slice line to an alignment or other linear geometry. The slice can then be moved down the alignment or a specific station can be entered.
  
  
  1. Choose alignment from the list to start.
     
     
     
  2. Tap to confirm the selected alignment for virtual mouse to appear.
     
     
     
  3. Or move virtual mouse along the selected alignment to a desired station, then tap to confirm.
     
     
     
  4. Or tap the station label to edit.
     
     
     
  5. Use the prompted keyboard to key in numbers.
     
     
     
  6. The cross section view will be generated in the 2^nd viewport.
     
     
     
  7. Edit station to generate another cross section view.
     
     
     
  8. Or use station decrement or increment arrows to go to the desired station.
     
     
     
  9. Section view options are available to customize.
     
     
     
     
     Note: Loading from an older Civil product or through an i.dgn file will not include the alignment. The Cross Section tool can still be used without an alignment, but the stationing information will not be available.
     
     
• Cross section: 2 point - The three icons in the upper left of the cross section view allow you to measure on the cross sections. The first icon working left to right allows you to measure a horizontal distance and the slope between the two points you are measuring between. The middle icon will measure a vertical distance between two points. The last icon on the right will measure an area on the cross section all of these measurements will stay on the cross section as long as the element original selected continues to be shown on the following cross section.
  
  
  1. Tap to enable virtual mouse.
     
     
     
  2. Tap to enter first point, then tap to enter second point. Fit cross section view in the second viewport.
     
     
     
  3. Use one finger to pan, and pinch to zoom in / out.
     
     
     
  4. Section view options are available.
     
     
     
     
     
  5. Measuring in second viewport is also possible.
     
     
     The gear icon in the upper right of the cross-section view “Section View Options” lets you adjust the station increment that you move through the cross sections with the navigation arrows in the middle of the view.
     
     
• Station Offset - The Station Offset tool allows users to measure an offset distance from a linear element or alignment. First, the user must select the linear element, the tool will then take a perpendicular measurement from the specified element to a desired point. If an alignment is selected the tool will also show the station location of the measurement. 
  
  
  1. Tap on screen for virtual mouse to appear.
     
     
     
  2. First tap to select a linear element such as roadway alignment.
     
     
     
  3. Second tap to select point to measure to and finish creation of station offset.
     
     
     
  4. Continue to use the Station offset tool and tap to select a linear element (not an alignment).
     
     
     
  5. Use Select tool and tap on the yellow pill to explore properties of the created station offset.
     
     
     
     
     
• Civil Quantities - The civil quantities tool allows you to select an element that have civil data attached to the element from OpenRoads Designer. If the element doesn’t have any civil data associated with it the element cannot be selected.
  
  Note: Loading from an older Civil product or through an i.dgn file will not include civil data.
