Placing 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.

►    Click to show/hide the parameters.

3. Click OK to create the station points along the polyline.

The first time you use the command in a file, a properties dialog box opens. Set the default properties, and click OK. The properties can be edited from the Object Info palette. Stake properties are described in Inserting Stake Objects.
