Project From Profile
Not Spatix
Project From Profile tool projects elements from a profile into their 3D position. The tool creates a copy of the elements that run along the profile's alignment.
The tool can be used, for example, with an element representing a vertical alignment that has been designed in the profile. The element has to be linear. It should not extend beyond the profile's left or right margin.
The tool creates a new 3D element of type complex chain running along the profile's alignment. The symbology of the new element is determined by the active symbology in the CAD file.
To project element(s) from a profile:
1. Select the Project From Profile tool.
The Project From Profile dialog opens:
2. Enter a Horizontal step value in order to define the maximum distance between consecutive vertices along the new 3D element.
3. Identify the profile from which the element(s) are projected.
4. Identify an element to project.
5. Accept the element with another data click.
The element is projected into a new 3D complex chain running along the profile's alignment. You can continue with step 3.
OR
1. Select element(s) to project.
2. Select the Project From Profile tool.
3. Enter a Horizontal step value in order to define the maximum distance between consecutive vertices along the new 3D element.
4. Identify the profile from which the element(s) are projected.
5. Accept the element(s) with another data click.
The Project from Profile tool works only as long as the alignment element for a profile is drawn in the CAD file. Once the alignment element is deleted, the projection of element from a profile is no longer possible.
