I can import my COGO Points (from a text file) into OpenRoads as Civil Points just fine. Now, how do I create a Horizontal Alignment from them like the InRoads SS2 tool - Create / Edit Alignment by COGO Points? I need them associated with the Civil Points so when I move a Point the Horizontal Alignment also updates just like InRoads SS2. Is this possible? I would have expected to be able to snap onto the display of the Points and have them ruled to the location of those points so that if I moved one, the alignment would move too. But it's not working as expected. What am I missing?
Kevin Williams - The Geometry Builder hasn't been the best in this context.
Nezmar Dok said:Creating the alignment using Complex by PI, along with the Origin Snap works pretty good. It snaps to the COGO Points, maintains the Origin Snap Rule, and actually identifies the COGO Point numbers in the alignment Properties (under Geometry Points). Then editing the COGO Point will correctly adjust the horizontal alignment.
Once that PI based alignment is created, you can move the points as needed and the alignment will follow.
You can also use Civil AccuDraw to key-in XY.
Another alternative instead of connected point graphics is using the Table Editor tool on the geometry created by Complex by PI.
