Read ACS RD File
This option will read from a Road Package .RD file.
It will allow you to select one of the long sections in the RD file and read that section into the job.
As the .RD file does not have any horizontal geometry, the program 'fabricates' some horizontal geometry for you. You can enter the starting point number to be used for the road and the bearing of the road and the program will automatically compute Eastings and Northings for each points along the road.

Start Point
Enter the starting point number in the job for the first point on the road.
Bearing
Enter the bearing of the string to be formed for the road. The program will assume the road is a straight line and will use the longsection chainage values as distances along the road and will compute points and insert them. It will assign the height values from the RD file to these points.
