ORD: Xsection cant annotation as height difference not slope

Unfortunately there is no cant annotation available yet on cross section.

Unfortunately there is no H/V annotation for a segment available yet on cross section, only the length of the segment.

Fortunately it is not too difficult to workaround and could apply to multi tracks because it is the real height between rails but you must be aware that skew cross section can give different value than the applied cant at that station. However small width, flat profile and usually parallel or small angle between tracks, so not a big difference.
Roughly, 1.435m gauge, 10deg (1/5.67) angle between cross section and track with a 20%o profile gives ~5mm. Not nothing.

1. In your template: add a component (construction class) or Null Points you can easily identified to create a segment in the annotation group
   Locate the component where you want to annotate the cant on the cross section. Usually just above the track.
2. Set horizontal constraint = vertical difference between rails
3. In the cross section annotation group, add a Linear annotation of this segment (or a segment you can create from the points)
   The text favorites to use is something like that:
   
   

Bonjour,

Thanks for the answer. Quite elegant!!

jpln, is it possible to round the cant value to, say 5 or 10mm?

It is not something possible or easy to do. To 10mm maybe we can find a trick by dividing by 10 in the template and annotate mm with no decimal. 57mm will give 0.0057 and will be annotated as 6. Then you can add suffix 0mm and it will be annotated as 60mm.

Thanks jpln,

I would have thought this is a requirement, I do not know anyone who specifies cant in metres or to the nearest mm.   Is it possible to have a calculation such as Round(C / 10)*10 for 10mm or Round(C / 5)*5  for 5mm in the template?
