This tutorial explains how horizontal and vertical layout line geometry can be defined in SAP2000. The layout line is broken into a number of segments between the transition points (PT - point of tangent, PC - point for curvature, PVT - point of vertical tangent, PVC - point of vertical curvature) and each segment is defined using the parameters available in the relevant SAP2000 form.
