Alignments

Menu: Survey / Alignment

The Alignment Manager in VisionLidar allows users to view, create, and modify horizontal alignments within a project. Alignments are critical for defining paths for sections, profiles, road modeling, and camera paths.

1. What is an Alignment?

✔ An alignment represents a defined path or route used in surveying, road design, railways, and infrastructure projects.
✔ It consists of a series of points that define the horizontal curve of the alignment.
✔ Alignments are used in:

• Sections & Profiles – Generate cross-sections along a path.

• Camera Path – Define movement paths for visualization.

• Road by Sections – Create roadway models based on alignment.

2. Managing Alignments

✔ Open the Alignment Manager to:

• View existing alignments in the project.

• Create new alignments by selecting a series of points.

• Modify an alignment’s horizontal curve to refine its geometry.

✔ Adjusting Horizontal Curves

• Modify alignment curves for smooth transitions.

• Improve accuracy for infrastructure projects.

✔ Advanced Alignment Management (Civil Module)

• The Civil Module provides more advanced features, including:

  • Vertical alignment adjustments.

  • Road and railway slope modifications.

3. Key Benefits of the Alignment Tool

✔ Versatile Application – Used in road design, railways, and site planning.
✔ Integrated with Other Features – Works with sections, profiles, and camera paths.
✔ Easy Modification – Adjust horizontal curves for accurate path modeling.
✔ Advanced Control – Full vertical alignment management in the Civil Module.
