Land00106.pngPlacing Station Points Along the Road Polyline

The Vectorworks Landmark product places station points (stake objects) along the selected polyline at a specified interval.

To place station points:

1. Select the polyline, and then select the Station on Polyline command from the appropriate menu:

     Designer workspace: AEC > Roads > Station on Polyline.

     Landmark workspace: Landmark > Roads > Station on Polyline

2. The Place Station Points Along Polyline dialog box opens. This command places stations at 100’ (or 30.48 m) intervals. In addition, partial station points can be placed at smaller intervals. Enter the interval between partial stations and select a labeling option for the curve information.

3. Click OK to create the station points along the polyline. If this is the first time a stake has been placed in the file, the Object Properties dialog box opens. Accept the default values and click OK. Stake properties are described in Inserting Stake Objects.

Each station point is labeled. If curve data tables were created, they can be selected and moved if necessary.
