Vertical Alignment
We have now added all available horizontal segment types. Next, we
will define the vertical alignment.

independently of each other, the first vertical segment that is defined
will start at the same POB defined above in Step 3.

then tap the Insert button.

Enter a Length of 150 and a Grade of 4%.
15. Tap
to add the segment to the vertical
alignment.
16. With End selected, tap the Insert button
again and then tap the V. Curve tab to
insert a parabolic vertical curve. Enter a
Length of 250 and tap the Get Previous
Grade button to automatically set the Start
Grade to the ending grade of the previous
section. Enter an End Grade of -2%.
