ArcProperties

Properties describing the shape of an arc segment of a polycurve.
Property Long name Unit Description
Name Name - Name of the arc properties.
Comments Comments - Comments on the arc properties.
StartAngle StartAngle ° The value of the angle between the start tangent of the segment and the global tangent.
EndAngle EndAngle ° End angle of the arc.
ArcHeight ArcHeight ° Height of the arc.
ArcWidth ArcWidth ° Width of the arc.
ArcLength ArcLength ° Length of the arc.
Parent Parent - The segment to which the arc properties are applied
DirectionAngle1 Direction angle 1 ° Increment of the slope of the arc segment
LocalStartPosition1 LocalStartPosition1 Length Horizontal value (x-component) of the offset to begin point
LocalStartPosition2 LocalStartPosition2 Length Vertical value (y-component) of the offset to begin point
LocalCenterPosition1 LocalCenterPosition1 Length Horizontal value (x-component) of the center of the full circle that can be drawn thought the arc in the tunnel designer local space.
LocalCenterPosition2 LocalCenterPosition2 Length Vertical value (y-component) of the center of the full circle that can be drawn thought the arc in the tunnel designer local space.
LocalEndPosition1 LocalEndPosition1 Length Horizontal value (x-component) of the offset to end point
LocalEndPosition2 LocalEndPosition2 Length Vertical value (y-component) of the offset to end point
Delta1 Delta1 ° The horizontal increment of the line formed by the start and end point of the segment. Δ1 is in local polycurve space (defined by the orientation axes), not global model space.
Delta1 Delta1 ° The vertical increment of the line of formed by the start and end point of the segment. Δ1 is in local polycurve space (defined by the orientation axes), not global model space.
Radius Radius - Radius of the arc segment.
CentralAngle Central angle ° Central angle of the arc segment.
DiscretizationAngle Discretization angle ° Upper boundary for the angle between different arc subsegments in the discretised arc.
