The Trench_CrossSections.xls workbook defines standard trench and ditch cross-sections used by the Civil task. The workbook is delivered to the [Product Folder]\CatalogData\BulkLoad\DataFiles\ folder and is bulkloaded into the catalog.
The workbook is delivered with a worksheet for each type of cross-section. Each worksheet defines a cross-section class, the corresponding 2D symbol file, and default parameters in the catalog.
Your reference data administrator can modify or add parameters to the delivered cross-sections. You can also add new cross-sections by creating new part classes on new worksheets and by creating new symbols.
