Introduction to lines and curves

Now that we have our points imported into our file, we can start to think about ways to leverage the line and curve commands to generate some of our basic survey geometry. In the previous section, we created several point groups in an effort to organize the survey data that we received and imported into our Survey Model.

In our first exercise, we’ll go ahead and convert the existing road centerline points into real linework. With that, let’s go ahead and identify the point number range within the York Hwy CL point group (these points are meant to depict the centerline of York Highway).

To identify the point range, we’ll go back into our TOOLSPACE | Prospector tab, select the point group labeled York Hwy CL, and take note of the point numbers in the panorama listed, as shown in Figure 5.18:

Figure 5.18 – York Hwy CL point group list

We’ll notice that the point numbers start with #36,083...
