1) Layers in a Template are ordered in the sequence that they are created. InRoads V8.4 has the ability to reorder these Layers in the Edit Template command. InRoads V8.2 has some limited reordering capability using the Layer Controls tab on the Roadway Modeler command. InRoads 2004, or V8.5 has the added ability to reorder the layers in the Template Editor. (pg. 470)
2) Creating TC Names that incorporate a left and right prefix or suffix will open the door to providing even better control during modeling. (pg. 474)
3) When a Template is used to create a surface model with a road modeler tool, the Name of the Layer will become the surface Name. In addition to that, the Name is also used as the Preference group, Cross Section Symbology and Profile Symbology. All of these items can be found on the Surface Properties once the surface is created. (pg. 481) |
