Vertical Adjustment:

This amount is added to the profile elevation. It would be the sum of y + z in the diagram below.

Grade or Slope:

Cross-slope grade or slope, sloping away from centerline in both directions. The cross-slope may be specified either as a percent grade, or as a slope in either Run:Rise or Rise:Run format, depending on which options are selected.

Grading Offset:

An additional horizontal offset to apply. This affects the grade calculation, by changing the distance between the alignment and the grading point.
