View toolbox
The section template document and the section document have four and five special toolboxes respectively - these do not appear in the standard Topocad. They are unique to the section and should preferably be used all at the same time. However, it is possible to only use the menu rather than the toolboxes.
Direction
Indicates the direction in which you add an element in the section. You will also find it in Add to left and Add to right.
Step/Select
The icon shows four different arrows - the two outer arrows move to the extreme left and right elements and the other two arrows move one element at a time. These commands also appear under Select in the menu.
Construct
This box contains five or six different ways to add an element in a section template (fixed, slope, intersection, extend, relative and camber) as well as delete, show outer slopes and finally mirror turnover.
These are also available under Construct in the menu.
Point info
Shows the information for that element (point) in the section template and in the cross section. This box is also used to edit the point.
In a calculated section document only:
Select section
This box only appears in cross sections (.tcs) and you can move between the sections by clicking the up or down arrow or move to the first or last sections by clicking on the double arrows. This command also appears under Select in the menu.
Current section
From this list you can point at any section from the cross section calculation. The list contains all calculated sections.
Area
Shows the calculated area of the section. The areas are divided into Soil, Rock, Fill and Superstructure.
