Question:

After importing survey data, there are triangles created between the points at even intervals.  How are the intervals of these intermediate points defined, and how can these extra triangles be eliminated?

Answer:

Intermediate triangle points are created along breaklines at intervals defined by the following two configuration variables:

CIVIL_DEFAULT_LINEAR_STROKING

CIVIL_DEFAULT_CURVE_STROKING

The default value for linear stroking is 10, and the default value for curve stroking is 0.01.  If you wish to eliminate all intermediate triangle points, these values should be set sufficiently large as to not allow for placement of the points. (i.e., larger than the distance between survey points)

These values can be found by going to Workspace > Configuration.
