Attaching a roadway element

  1. Load the roadway you want into the Roadway InfoViewer.
  2. In the feature list, right-click anywhere to the right of the element symbol for the correct element type, and select Add new item of this type.
    The Element Definition dialog box opens. The fields in the dialog box depend on your agency's roadway setup and may vary for different element types.
    Note: If the element type is not in the list, add it by modifying the feature list.
  3. Specify this information:
    Value
    If your agency requires a value, specify an identifying number or name for the element. This field may only be required for certain element types. If you specify a value for an element attached along a range, the value is displayed in the element's range bar in the feature diagram. If you specify a value for an element attached at a single point, the value is displayed when you rest your mouse pointer on the element's point symbol in the feature diagram. If a value is not specified, Infor Public Sector assigns the element the next available identification number and shows that as its value.
    Start Distance
    Specify the location or starting measurement of the element along the roadway. If attaching the element at a single point, such as a call box, specify its precise location on the roadway. If attaching the element along a range, such as a median wall, specify the starting measurement for the range.
    End Distance
    If attaching the element along a range, specify its ending measurement. This field is only displayed for element types that can be attached along a range.
    Offset
    If attaching the element at a point, specify the element's distance from the center of the roadway. Use zero as the center of the roadway, negative numbers to denote the distance from the center to the left, and positive numbers to denote the distance from the center to the right. For example, if the element is 10 feet from the center of the roadway to the left, specify -10.
    Right of Way
    If your agency tracks the element's right of way position, specify the code. This field is only displayed for certain element types and may only be required for some of them.
  4. Specify any other information about the element's location on the roadway.
    You can specify the dates that the element's attachment is effective, add comments about the attachment, or change the units of measure for any distance fields. The units that are initially displayed reflect the top ruler units assigned to the roadway in the Roadway InfoViewer Preferences dialog box, but you can use different units for the current element. You can also select a distance marker instead of a unit of measure to indicate the element's location. If your agency tracks additional, personalized information about this type of element, specify that information in the lower half of the dialog box.
  5. Click Save.
    Infor Public Sector adds the element to the feature diagram in the row to the right of the corresponding element type. If the element is attached along a range, a bar is displayed in the feature diagram showing a value that you specified or that Infor Public Sector assigned. If the element is attached at a specific point, a point symbol is displayed in the feature diagram. You can rest your mouse pointer on the symbol to view the element's value.
