Station Equations in TBC

    I see where you can add station equations in the horizontal alignment. i do not see how you can key in the vertical alignment though. There is no option for station equations in the vertical alignment settings. 

     

    I am trying to build a model with an alignment that has one station equality. It starts at 4+00, then at 19+00 it goes back to 10+00.

    Station Equations are applied only to the Horizontal Alignment as are Superelevations. Because the Horizontal and Vertical alignments are directly linked in TBC, the Station Equations apply automatically to both.

    how can i input the the stations in the vertical alignment when the station goes backward.

    for example i start at 4+00 then when i get to 19+00 i have to then go to 10+00. the software won't let me input a station that is behind the previous station.
    also does siteworks support railroad stationing. i seem to remember having problems with that in the past with scs900

    You have to enter it with the station equation Number e.g. 1987+00:2

    What do you mean by Railroad Stationing?

     

    Siteworks supports VCL Files now and full TBC HAL / VAL / Station Equations so if you cannot do it with the PRO file approach you can try the VCL Output from TBC and place the VCL in a Design folder for Siteworks and try that. It does support HAL Geometry and Station Equations, but if Railroad Stationing means something different then you will need to give me the details and I will work out what we can / cannot do for you
