Each point on Master string has 6 dimensions : x, y, z, chainage, tangent bearing and radius of curve. Each Master string has an associated Geometry string.</p> <p><strong>Geometry String</strong> : has 12 dimensions and store information about an alignment, for example, the horizontal and the vertical tangent points of the strings. A geometry string contains all the information necessary to generate the master string.</p> <p><span style="font-size:150%;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: Geometry string, master string, MXROAD</div>
