Point Attributes
Point Attributes are the properties of a point on a feature.  For more information, see Attributes.
Name
Full Name
Reports the current feature name.  The full feature name is composed of an alphanumeric ID portion and a numeric Sub ID portion.
ID
Reports the alphanumeric portion of the feature name.  More than one feature can have the same ID.
Sub ID
Represents the numeric portion of the feature name
Comment
Comment
This is an editable field.  See Edit - Modify Current Point - Comment for more information.
Reference
Index
Reports the vertex index number of the current point on the current feature.  The first vertex is index number 0.
Tot. HD
Reports the total horizontal distance along the current feature to the current point.
Tot. SD
Reports the total slope distance along the current feature to the current point.
Coordinates
Easting
Reports the X coordinate of the current point.
Northing
Reports the Y coordinate of the current point.
Elevation
Reports the elevation of the current point.
Lat/Lon
Latitude
Reports the latitude of the current point.  Conversion is done using the current projection settings.  The latitude is formatted according to the current Lat-Long Display Properties.  See the Projection Setup dialog for information on how to change these settings.
Longitude
Reports the longitude of the current point.  Conversion is done using the current projection settings.  The longitude is formatted according to the current Lat-Long Display Properties.  See the Projection Setup dialog for information on how to change these settings.
Fwd. Leg
HD (n)
Reports the total horizontal distance from the current point to the next (non TIN) point.
SD (n)
Reports the total slope distance from the current point to the next (non TIN) point. If the current feature is a draped feature, the distances due to elevation changes over the TIN model are included. If the feature is a 3D feature then TIN model (if one exists) is not included.
Azimuth (n)
Reports the azimuth measured in degrees of the line from the current point to the next point.
Slope (n)
Reports the grade % between the current point and the next point.
Dx (n)
Reports the change in x coordinate from the current point to the next (non TIN) point.
Dy (n)
Reports the change in y coordinate from the current point to the next (non TIN) point.
Dz (n)
Reports the change in z coordinate from the current point to the next (non TIN) point.
Avg. Slope (n)
Grade in % measured from current point to the next USER point (ignores triangle crossings in draped features).
Bck. Leg
HD (p)
Reports the total horizontal distance from the previous (non TIN) point to the current point.
SD (p)
Reports the total slope distance from previous (non TIN) point to the current point. If the current feature is a draped feature, the distances due to elevation changes over the TIN model are included. If the feature is a 3D feature then TIN model (if one exists) is not included.
Azimuth (p)
Reports the azimuth measured in degrees of the line from the previous point to the current point.
Slope (p)
Reports the grade % between the previous point and current point.
Dx (p)
Reports the change in x coordinate from the previous point (non TIN) to the current point.
Dy (p)
Reports the change in y coordinate from the previous point (non TIN) to the current point.
Dz (p)
Reports the change in z coordinate from the previous point (non TIN) to the current point.
Avg. Slope (p)
Grade in % measured from the previous USER point to the current point (ignores triangle crossings in draped features).
Properties
Current
Reports if there is a current point.  The current point is the red cross that is visible when there are features selected.
TIN Pnt.
Reports if the current point is on a draped feature.
TIN Side Shots
Avg. SS
Reports the average side shot.  Only computed if there is a Terrain Model.
Avg. SSL
Reports the average side shot left.  Only computed if there is a Terrain Model.
Avg. SSR
Reports the average side shot right.  Only computed if there is a Terrain Model.
Point Flags
XBreak
Indicates a crossing breakline point.
