12d how to measure string chainage and offset

If you have a string or an alignment or super alignment in 12d, and you want to measure the chainage and offset of a point along a string, you can measure this with the String from a point measurement panel.

To open this panel, go to Utilities >> Measure >> String from point.

In the panel you will need to select:

  1. the string you want to measure to,
  2. The Extend mode, and
  3. The point you want to measure relative to the string.
