Details on "Elevation Points"

Information on the Elevation Points section of the District Networks discipline.

In this area, you can insert elevation points that can be labeled into your drawing or define where elevation points are to be drawn into trench sections after a new calculation. You can also set that the critical path of the district network is provided with elevation points after a new calculation. The prerequisite for inserting elevation points is that you have added a location and elevation data in your drawing and the option Consider Elevation Data is activated in the Settings. In order for the elevation points to receive values, you must calculate the district network with the option activated.
