Provided below are the guidelines to use the Title Block feature in continuity from our ANNOUNCEMENT recently. Currently, we provide you the title block support for Road Cross Section, Road Horizontal and Vertical Detailing, Earthworks Cut Section, and Utilities Long Section.  

Road Cross Section #

Number of Layouts Viewport in a Title Block #

“Options > Project Settings > Road > Detailing > Viewports > Cross Sections > CAD Layout > CutSection #”

Number of layout viewports in a title block can be adjusted to 1, 2, 4, 6 and 9. Diagram below is the example of 9 viewports in a layout.

Number of layout settings are applied to new and existing roads. 

Change the scale of layout for Existing Road  #

If some of the cut sections are not fully shown or overlapping between items as per Image 2, you may want to change the number of layout viewports as steps above as it will affect the display space. Another workaround that can be done is to change the scale of ACAD. 

For existing road, users have to change the scale in the Input (not in the Parameter Settings)

“Cross Sections > RHS Properties Tab > 1:X and 1:Y scale”

Change the scale of layout for New Road #

Users may change the ACAD scale in the Parameter Settings for new road

“Options > Project Settings > Road > Detailing > Viewports > Cross Section > Scale > Click OK”

Above settings in the Project Parameter will only affect the new created road. 

Road Horizontal and Vertical Detailing #

For horizontal and vertical detailing  also works the same as the cross section, whereby the Scale Settings in the Project Parameters will only be applied to new roads and input settings will affect the existing road. 

Below are the parameter settings for the NEW ROAD

“Options > Project Settings > Road > Detailing > Viewports > Detailing”

For a new road, the settings are always in the Parameter Settings, while for the EXISTING ROAD, the adjustment can be done in the input. 

“Define Window Viewports tab  > Spread Input”

Diagram below is the output for the horizontal and vertical detailing. The scale and the length of the road are based on the scale and the viewports defined in the input. 

Earthworks Cut Sections #

The settings for Earthworks cut sections title block is pretty much the same as in Road cross sections. Number of layout and scale settings are also available in Earthworks module. Number of layout settings are in Project Parameter Settings and will be applied to new and existing modelling, while Scale settings for new and existing modelling have to be adjusted in Project Parameters and Input setting, respectively. 

Utility Long Section #

Just like how the title block feature works for Earthworks Cut Sections and Road Cross Sections, the same approach has now been extended to the Utility modules in MiTS – including Storm Water, Sewerage, and Water Reticulation.

Title block configuration:

Options > Project Settings > Drainage/Water Ret/Sewerage > Detailing > Long Section > CAD Layout

CAD Layout Settings for Utility Long Section #

The Long Section #, Scale (1 : X and 1 : Y), and Vertical Space parameters in the utility modules (e.g., Drainage, Sewerage, Water Reticulation)

Long Section # #

• Determines the number of long sections to be shown per layout sheet

• Similar to “Viewports per Layout” in the Road module, where users choose how many cross sections appear on each page

• Example: Setting Long Section # = 4 will show four long sections per layout page

Scale (1 : X and 1 : Y) #

• Controls the horizontal and vertical scaling of the long section drawing

• These values define how the long section will be proportionally represented in the layout, similar to the horizontal and vertical scale controls used in road detailing

• For example:
  • Scale (1 : X) = 600 means 1 unit on paper represents 600 units in model space horizontally
  • Scale (1 : Y) = 600 means the same scaling applies vertically, producing a balanced, 1:1 ratio visual appearance

Vertical Space #

• Adds spacing between multiple long sections in the same layout view to avoid overlapping

• This is particularly useful when more than one long section is displayed per sheet/viewport

• It can be seen as the vertical “gap” or buffer zone between long section views, ensuring clarity in presentation
