1. Functional Purpose
The **Civil 3D LandXML Centerline & Station Equation Formatter** resolves common stationing resets and coordinate extraction errors when exporting alignments from AutoCAD Civil 3D.
It parses <StationEquation> elements (Ahead vs. Back stations), recalculates exact stakeout coordinates (Northing & Easting) along linear and curved segments, and formats the output into **1 km maximum horizontal column blocks** (`Station | Northing | Easting`) matching professional submission standards like the Bishoftu Interchange project.
2. 1km Horizontal Matrix Spreading
Rather than printing long 10,000-row vertical lists, the tool organizes stakeout data horizontally into 3-column blocks per kilometer: Block 1 (0+000 to 1+000), Block 2 (1+000 to 2+000), etc. Each block is formatted with explicit sub-headers and styled Excel cells suitable for direct print or CAD stakeout tables.
