Question:

Is there a way to add a few more vertical exaggerations fields to the view attributes?  OpenRoads has the following 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 vertical exaggerations as standard.


How do we add additional exaggeration fields?.

Answer:

This is done with a civil configuration variable.  The variable is CIVIL_EXAGGERATION_VALUES.  As an example you can set that variable as follows.

CIVIL_EXAGGERATION_VALUES = 1,2,10,20,40,50,80,100

Once set those values will be in the Exaggeration setting with in the Civil portion of the view attributes in the Profile View.
