1) Many of the InRoads numerical entry fields are capable of applying mathematical functions to their values. The available functions are + add, - subtract, * multiply, / divide and ** exponent. Nested parenthesis are also available allowing (140/5)-1. (pg. 489)
2) When assigning the Superelevation points to the Template, set the View option on the Segment tab to Left Side and Right Side so that the entire Template Layer is available for point placement. Also, set the Zone to a Backbone Zone to maximize the Template preview which will make for easier point placement. (pg. 493)

3) When constructing a Template Layer, the user never assigns the Centerline TC Name at the central point of the Layer since this is automatically done by the software. (pg. 495)
