You enter the design section template you wish to use in tabular form as seen here, and a graphical representation of the template is displayed as you create it for easy verification.

Each 'leg' in the template can be defined by a variety of methods including 

• Starting at or offset vertically and/or horizontally to the section centrepoint
• Distances (Horizontal and/or Vertical) and Grade
• Coordinates relative to the previous template leg, or to the centreline of the section
• Conditional Legs which can measure the value of cut/fill/offset and react accordingly.
• Legs which join to another Design String
• Legs which continue until they reach a specified Reduced Level, or amount of cut/fill.
• Cut or Fill batters which run at the batter specified until they intersect the natural surface.
