Add sectors and key points

Sectors and key points allow geographical markers to be added directly along the distance axis.

They can be used to display, for example:

• project sections
• structures
• work areas
• crossings
• geographical limits

These elements enrich the reading of the Time-Location schedule by adding geographical context to the project.

In the Distance axis tab, click + to add a new line.

Then select the Sector type.

A new line will appear in the list of distance lines.

The Displayed value field allows you to define the information displayed along the distance axis.

For example:

• the sector name
• the quantity
• a description

This allows the display to be adapted to the project conventions.

Several parameters allow you to adjust the appearance of the sectors:

• Line height
• Line colour
• Text position
• Text rotation

These options help improve the readability of the distance axis.

Two display modes are also available:

• Sector style
• Common style

The common style allows the same style to be applied to multiple sectors.

The lower part of the window allows you to select the project zones to display.

These zones are usually organised in a hierarchical structure:

• structures
• sections
• junctions
• work areas

Each zone is defined by:

• a starting chainage (Pkd)
• an ending chainage (Pkf)

By checking the Visible column, the zone appears directly in the Time-Location view.

It is possible to add new zones directly from this interface using the button:

• + Zone

It is also possible to add a new axis in order to organise zones by category.

These elements help structure the project and enrich the reading of the Time-Location schedule.
