PL – Point Layout¶
Use this command to define placeholders on sheets.
Using the Command¶
The command requires two MO points:
- MO
- MO
- PL
For Windows¶
The command requires MO points for the lower left and upper right corners.

For Text Fields¶
For fields to be filled with text information, the command requires a lower and an upper MO point.

Parameters¶
Param.1 (?) Description – Pt. No.
Standard Layout Types¶
- 1 = Cross-section window
- 2 = Longitudinal profile window
- 3 = Horizontal curvature
- 4 = Width expansion
- 5 = Cross slope
- 6 = Road elevation
- 7 = Terrain elevation (fetches elevation from layer 01: Soil)
- 8 = Superstructure
- 9 = Offset/profile number
- 10 = Vertical curvature
- 11 = Left shoulder
- 12 = Right shoulder
- 13 = Profile annotation (for individual cross-sections)
- 14 = Map excerpt window
- 15 = Legend for quantity types
- 16 = Legend for layer types
- 18 = Delta height (vertical curvature – top physical terrain)
- 19 = Starting point for drawing cross-sections
Water and Sewer Data Codes¶
In ter.ini, codes for water and sewer data are defined. By default, the file contains the following codes:
Main Pipes¶
- 21 = Road crossing
- 22 = Stormwater slope
- 23 = Stormwater level
- 24 = Stormwater dimension
- 25 = Wastewater slope
- 26 = Wastewater level
- 27 = Wastewater dimension
- 28 = Water slope
- 29 = Water level
- 30 = Water dimension
- 32 = Pump pipe slope
- 33 = Pump pipe level
- 34 = Pump pipe dimension
Service Pipes¶
- 41 = Service stormwater
- 42 = Service wastewater
- 43 = Service water
- 44 = Service pump pipe
Secondary Pipes¶
- 51 = Stormwater 2 slope
- 52 = Stormwater 2 level
- 53 = Stormwater 2 dimension
- 54 = Wastewater 2 slope
- 55 = Wastewater 2 level
- 56 = Wastewater 2 dimension
- 57 = Water 2 slope
- 58 = Water 2 level
- 59 = Water 2 dimension
- 60 = Pump pipe 2 slope
- 61 = Pump pipe 2 level
- 62 = Pump pipe 2 dimension
- 63 = Drain pipe slope
- 64 = Drain pipe level
- 65 = Drain pipe dimension
Param.2 (?) Annotation Direction:
- 0 = Vertical annotation of level
- 1 = Horizontal annotation of level
Note
Parameter 2 is only active for water and sewer codes for level.
Param.3 (?) Length Annotation:
- 0 = No annotation of horizontal length
- 1 = Annotation of horizontal length
Note
Parameter 3 is only active for water and sewer codes for level.
Param.4 (?) Decimals in Length:
- 0 = No decimals in length
- 1 = One decimal in length
- 2 = Two decimals in length
- 3 = Three decimals in length
Note
Parameter 4 is only active for water and sewer codes for level.
