Creating a Geometry Project
Bentley Rail Track stores coordinate geometry information in a geometry project (*.alg file). As you progress through the tutorial, you will define horizontal and vertical alignments.
This information is stored in the geometry project. You can save as many alignments and sets of points as you like in a geometry project.
This chapter describes several processes related to the
geometry project: importing coordinate geometry and creating horizontal and vertical alignments. You create a geometry project; then, within that project you will create horizontal and vertical alignments. These alignments are the basis for
defining the centerline for the proposed single track.

Overview
In this chapter, you will import the points you need to begin a rail project. These points are used to create both horizontal and vertical alignments.

Importing ASCII Points
Once you have named a geometry project, you can load the points that will be used to create horizontal and vertical
alignments. For this task, these points have been prepared for you. In a typical rail project, these points are usually collected from existing survey data.
