21) Point On Level This method has five parameters. 1,2, Pt Name & Seq of Creation.

3) Level : Name of Level name on which you want to locate point.

(Ref- E.g. )

4) Direction : - Counting of point no. From Left to Right or Right to Left. 5) Point no. Number of the point to be located on the level. This method is useful when we require adding a point from the existing Level to our new points collection. No Reference point is needed to locate such points. For this you should select the level, Direction of counting the point - Left to Right or Right to Left. Point No: This is slightly confusing. This example will make it clear. Suppose you say direction = Left to Right and point no. = 3, it means that we have to choose the third point counting from left to right on the selected level. Suppose you say direction = Right to Left and point no. = 2, it means that we have to choose the second point counting from right to left on the selected level. 22) dx-On-Level (dx on Level method) (Ref- E.g. )

This method is useful when we have to give a offset as in case of side drains for section in embankment. The drain may be some dist away from the toe. In such cases we have to locate the point on the given Level which is at a given horizontal distance but on the level. 1,2, 3) 4) 5) 6) Pt Name & Seq of Creation. Reference point dx Horizontal distance from the reference point Direction Left or Right side of the reference point. Level - The level on which the new point will be located

23) X-On-Level

(Ref- E.g. )

This method is useful when we have to locate a point on a level and we know the X coordinates of the point. A classical example is where we wish to place a point on OGL at the center (i.e. offset = 0) 1,2, 3 4 5 Pt Name & Seq of Creation. Level X coordinate MF X (Ref- E.g. )

24) OS-To-Line 1,2, Pt Name & Seq of Creation. 3) Ref Point 4) Direction - Left or Right side of the reference point 5) Previous Point 6) Next Point

Use of this tool is when you wish to create points on a line that is parallel to another line Classical case is of pitching for dams as shown in the above drawing 25) R-Theta 1,2, Pt Name & Seq of Creation. 3) Center Point 4) Radius 5) Angle in Degrees 6) mF Radius (Ref- E.g. )

26) GetData From Points

(Ref- E.g.

This point creation tool does not create any point, but instead a variable value is calculated. This is sometimes required when the variable value is to be evaluated based on some other point coordinates. This value is then stored in a variable in database. This method requires six parameters.

1,2 New Pt No, Seq of Creation No. 1) Pt1 Name of first point 2) Pt2 Name of second point 3) Style How to process the above two points. (HorD, VerD, AlnD, Slope). 4) Variable returning variable in which the value will be stored. How this method works? The program will extract the x & y coordinates of the two given points. Depending on the Style it will calculate the returning value. This value will be stored as VarData in database. For eg we have, two points P1 & P2. The coordinates are P1X, P1Y & P2X, P2Y Style HorD VerD AlnD Slope Value P2X P1X P2Y P1Y Sq Rt ((P2X-P1X) * (P2X-P1X) + (P2Y-P1Y) * (P2Y-P1Y)) (P2Y P1Y) / (P2X P1X)

Note: No point is actually created; no data about the point is stored as it is meaning less. The VarData information is stored. 27) GetData Average Level (Ref- E.g. )

In this method no point is created, but the average level of the given Level / Line is calculated and returned in the variable. While calculating the Av Level two points ( left and right ) should be specified, the level data beyond this is ignored, i.e. the average level between the two points is calculated. 1) Level 2) Pt1 Name of first point 3) Pt2 Name of second point 4) Variable returning variable in which the value will be stored.

28) GetData Conditional

(Ref- E.g. )

In this method it is essential to give condition, without condition there is no meaning to this method, two variables or values are passed as input, one variable is carried forward as out put depending on the condition result. If the condition is evaluated as true then first value is returned, else if condition is false the second value is returned. 1) If Condition True Var / Value 2) If Condition False Var / Value 3) Return Variable 4) Condition (must be provided) (Ref- E.g. )

29) GetData - Equation Solver a equation. 1) First Var / Value

This point creation method does not create a point, this tools is useful to evaluate

2) Operator (Add, Sub, Mul, Div, Power, Root, Bigger, Lesser) 3) Second Var / Value 4) Return Variable Suppose you provide a variable say A as first and B as second, the return variable is C. If the operator selected is Add then for A=2 & B =3, C=5 Note: For root, only square root is possible in the current version. 30) GetData X Y a equation. 1) New Point No 2) Seq No 3) Point No 4) X or Y 5) mF (Ref- E.g. )

6) Return Variable Suppose you provide a point say 106 as point No (Not New point No) and specify the next parameter as X If return variable is V1 Then the V1 value is set to X coordinate of point 106, which we have assumed to be previously created. 31) GetData Area evaluate a equation. 1) New Point No 2) Seq No 3) Area 4) mF 5) Return Variable Suppose you provide an Area say A1 as Area If return variable is V2 Then the V2 value is set to value of that area.

Applying Condition to Point

(Ref- E.g. )

A point can be defined as conditional, i.e. the point will be created only if the condition is true. If the condition is false, the point will not be created. More about conditions will be discussed in this chapter later.

You can apply the condition by Check selects the box for condition. Double Click the text box for conditions. New form appears. Select a condition from the list, If required you can create a new condition on this form. Click <ok >to return
