Profiles toolbox
The tools in the Profiles toolbox are used to draw profiles and cross sections. Profiles and cross sections rely on alignment elements. The tools for updating profiles, projecting elements to and from profiles, labeling profile elevations, and creating output reports from profiles only work as long as the alignment element is available in the CAD file.
For reasons of simplicity, the following text refers to profiles and cross sections with the term “profile” if no differentiation between the two elements is necessary. This corresponds to the way of naming the tools in the software. The tools Update Profile, Project into Profile, Project From Profile and Label Profile Elevations can be applied to cross sections as well.
