In the top-right viewport, zoom in to the first section view at 0+50
(0+010) in the lower-left corner of the first sheet. Pan upward, and
examine each section view. When you get to the top of the column,
move to the bottom of the next column and pan upward to continue
viewing the sections in order.

As you do this, try to
visualize traveling down
the road and experienc-
ing the changes in the
road geometry that
you see from section
to section.
10.
On the Insert tab of the ribbon, click LandXML. Browse to the
Chapter 10
class data folder, and select
Preliminary Waterline.xml
.
Click Open.
11.
Click OK to dismiss the Import LandXML dialog box.
A new pipe network representing the preliminary design of the
waterline along Jordan Court has been created in the drawing. If you
zoom in to the plan view of Jordan Court, you can see the double
blue line along the right side of the road.
◀
The scenario here may
be that an engineer
has asked you to check
the waterline design
against your road
design to see if there
are any problems.
12.
Click one of the section views, and then click Sample More Sources
on the ribbon.
13.
In the Selection Sources dialog box, click Preliminary Waterline and
then click Add. Click OK to close the dialog box.
14.
Press Esc to clear the selection of the section view. Zoom in, and
examine the section views to verify that the waterline is being shown.
◀
As you look at the
section views, do you
see any problems with
the location of the
waterline?
15.
Use the LandXML command to import
Subsurface Rock.xml
. Use
the Sample More Sources command to add the new surface named
Rock to the section views. Set its style to Rock.
16.
Once again, you need to clear the labels. Click a section view, and
then click View Group Properties on the ribbon.
17.
Click <Edit> in the Label Set column next to Rock. Select _No
Labels, and click OK. Click OK again to return to the drawing.
18.
Study the section views again.
In a real-life situation, you may need to inform the engineer that
the waterline design requires the excavation of a significant amount
of rock. Also notice that around station 9+00 (0+270), the rock layer
is very close to the surface—you may want to consider raising the
road a bit in this area to avoid costly rock excavation.
19.
Save and close the drawing.
