Summary of Marked Points

PointMarked ByDescription
1TMPLT Point 1 is always marked at the horizontal location of point 5 at grade elevation. The method for locating the grade elevation is dependent on the configuration type. The exception is when the existing edge of pavement (and point 5 ) is located outside the edge of the shape. In this case, point 1 will be marked at the horizontal location of the edge of the shape at grade elevation. The purpose of point 1 is to have a starting point, common to all widening configurations, to draw the template out to the horizontal location of point 2. Point 1 is not actually used by configurations 0.
2 TMPLT Point 2 is always marked at the xcode origin, which should be the edge of the GEOPAK shape, (pavement marked point p1 ).
3 TMPLT Point 3 is used in conjunction with point 8. See description of point 8.
5 TMPLT Point 5 is used to mark the horizontal location of the edge of existing pavement by configurations 1 through 3. This is achieved by starting at point 2 and skipping out level to the distance defined by "TM* EOP SEARCH RANGE", then skipping back in towards the shape to intersect the DEFINE_DGN element "EXIST EOP". For configuration 0, point 5 is marked at the right edge of the shape only to avoid referencing an unmarked point.
6 ALL Point 6 is used as a temporary place holder.
8 TMPLT Points 3 and 8 mark the pavement slope at the edge of the travel lane. Since some of the template configurations draw templates which are sloped contrary to the GEOPAK shape, subsequent criteria like shld and cc that require pavement slope as a control, use internal variables. The value of these internal variables is computed using points 3 and 8. This is necessary because the shld and cc criteria have no means of determining what template configuration was used. To have added this capability would have diminished the generic character of these criteria, and made the files larger and therefore slower. The use of points 3 and 8, and the internal variable in this manner is deemed more economical in the long run.

Point 3 is always marked at the edge of the template, except by configurations 1 and 2. Configuration 1 marks point 3 at point 1, and configuration 2 marks point 3 at the edge of the GEOPAK shape.Configurations 0, 2 and 3 mark point 8 at pavement marked point p2. Configuration 1 marks point 8 one foot inside point 3 at the elevation on existing ground adjusted by "RESURFACE DEPTH".

20 TMPLT Point 20 always marks the edge of the travel lane, and is used by most subsequent criteria.
