1.1 Introduction

This guide describes the steps to follow to create a job, add the components and process the data measured in the field.

In TcpTunnel, the jobs are organized in projects. These ones store the information about horizontal and vertical alignments, superelevations, tunnel templates, etc, as well as the configuration parameters.

To create a new project, it's necessary that all files are in the same working folder. The minimum elements it must contain are the horizontal and vertical alignments and the tunnel templates. Additionally, it can be added superelevations and control points.

Once the project is created, it will be necessary to do the cross-sections calculation in order to run the most application commands, such as cross-section drawing, editing, area and volumes calculation, etc.
