Design point outside the range of the selected element:
When measuring outside of the defined lines, lines and arcs are extended in a
straight projection tangent to the start/end of the line. For Height: From line,
the start/end grade of the line is also extended. A warning appears when this
is the case.
When working with segments, the same extension rules are applicable to the
selected segment beyond its limits. For lines imported from a road alignment,
heights are not extended outside the segment.
An additional page is available when a user-defined page is used.
