Terrain and cross-sections

Many civil engineering related works need to review longitudinal and cross-sections using existing infrastructure and terrain.

In Civillo, a cross‐section is a plane that cuts vertically through the map to reveal a two-dimensional grid of the assets that intersect with the vertical plane.

Using cross-sections in Civillo is easy, add / remove cross-section markers, toggle on or off the hit-line, relative heights, label features, or change the default terrain.

Cross-section markers

Click on the terrain icon to activate the cross-section panel.

Cross-section icon

The panel will be activated from the bottom of the web page. Two markers are displayed on the map, with the labels A and B.

Cross-section after initialization

Additional markers can be added to the cross-section by left-clicking on the map.

Markers can be removed by right-clicking on the marker label (or next to the marker when in 3D mode).

Chart options

Each of the options described below can be accessed by clicking the three dots icon to the right of the cross-section panel.

Hit-line

The Civillo hit-line labels all elements that the hover line intersects with, each label contains the element sub-layer and the elements reduced level height (RL).

Relative-Heights

Adjust the hit-line height to indicate the relative fall or gain from the loaded default terrain.

Auto-Labels

Label the cross-section elements (with reduced levels) for download in either PDF or PNG format.

Other options

• Display and label the limits of the vertical axis.
• Toggle the line corresponding to the terrain level.
• Download the chart as a PDF or PNG. The PDF includes an image of the map with the cross-section line overlaid.

Change Terrains

Alter the terrain within the cross-section by changing the Terrain dropdown selection.
