Plan View Information
The information that is displayed in the plan view varies according to the design type that is loaded.
Illustration 1 g03045758The plan view displays the following types of information:Horizontal alignment features:
Design boundary
Site map
Background linework
Roading alignments
Sloping surface alignments
3D lines
Selected horizontal guidance line and offsetNote: The horizontal alignment features are created on the design with software.Avoidance zones:

Terrain mapMachine information
Machine type
Focus point
guidance point or pointsNote: The plan view shows the boundary around the design surface as a light gray line. If a design does not contain boundary information, no boundary appears.Road Design
The plan view of a road design file shows a master alignment which, unlike a sloping surface master alignment, can be straight or curved. A road file can also contain additional road alignments. Additional road alignments are arranged on either side of the master alignment. Road alignments appear as black lines.Sloping Surface Design
If a sloping surface design is loaded, the plan view shows the centerline as a straight black line.3D Lines design
A 3D line is displayed in the color that the 3D line was designed with. When a 3D line is selected for both horizontal and vertical guidance, the 3D line appears red. When a 3D line is selected for vertical guidance and a different line is selected for horizontal guidance, the 3D line appears blue.You can also change the width of the design surface defined by a 3D line when selecting the line. The extents of this design surface are displayed in the plan view with a light gray line.Plan View rotation
Note: The rotation feature is defaulted to On. In order to turn Off the rotation function, use the "Main Screen Views" menu.The plan view can be configured to rotate with the machine or the plan view can be configured to keep the linework pointing in the direction of north.When the plan view is set to rotate, both the linework and the machine icon rotate to keep the machine pointing toward the top of the screen. The following two screens illustrate the plan view rotating as the machine turns right.
Illustration 2 g03045816As the machine continues to turn right, the plan view rotates 90° to the left. The machine keeps pointing toward the top of the screen as shown in Illustration 3.
Illustration 3 g03045824When the plan view is not configured to rotate, the linework remains fixed in the one direction. The machine icon rotates around the plan view as the machine moves across the design surface.
