737NG FMC Question

Quick FMC question, apologies if this has been asked before.

We have an airport which is a noise requirement to go straight ahead on runway track until above 3000ft before turning to the first flightplan waypoint. Is there a way I can create the (3000) on the left column manually so it turns when at 3000 or above? Obviously I can create it with a distance from the airport code and 3000A on the right, but the distance is variable, the only requirement is to be above 3000. Another location has more complex noise - Straight ahead (rwy track) until 700ft, then track 057 until 3000 - again, is there a way to make the box do this in LNAV or is heading select the only option?
Is using the airport identifier and the runway track in the FMC the most accurate way to create a virtual LNAV centreline?

Also, is there a simple way to clear out all the user created waypoints to avoid the list of waypoints that are hundreds of miles away from the one you need when creating a base leg etc?

Many thanks in advance
