Section Details panel

The Section Details panel provides a tabular overview of all sections in the current tunnel and displays properties for the active section. It is located in the right-side panel of the application window.

Section Details tab

The Section Details tab contains a grid listing every section in the tunnel with the following columns:

Column	Description
Station	Chainage along the alignment
Name	Section identifier
Bearing	Surveying bearing at the station
Template	Name of the assigned design template
Elevation	Alignment elevation at the station
Grade	Longitudinal gradient in percent
Offsets	Horizontal and vertical offset from the alignment axis
Superelevation	Cross-fall value at the station

Navigating with the grid

Double-click any row in the grid to navigate directly to that section. The Sections canvas tab updates to display the selected section, and the alignment canvas highlights the corresponding station.

Tip

The Section Details grid is the fastest way to jump to a specific section when you know its station or name. Combine it with the Prev/Next ribbon buttons for sequential review.

Properties tab

The Properties tab shows the CAD object inspector for the currently selected entity on the canvas. When an entity is selected (such as a section line or template line), its geometric and display properties appear here for review.

Note

The Properties tab reflects the canvas selection. If no entity is selected, the tab is empty. Click on a line or point on the Sections canvas to populate it.

Status bar

The status bar at the bottom of the application window shows the cursor coordinates in the local section coordinate system:

• X – horizontal offset from the alignment axis (positive = right, negative = left)

• Y – elevation

Note

These coordinates match the section’s local system, not world coordinates. The offset convention follows TunnelCAD’s standard: positive offsets are to the right of the alignment axis, negative offsets are to the left.
