Draw into profile
Draw into profile command draws laser points into a profile as permanent elements. This command draws all points from one or more given classes into the profile which are within the given depth from the profile alignment.
You have to create the profile using Draw Profile tool of TerraModeler before this tool can be used.
To draw laser points into a profile:
1. Select Draw into profile command from the Tools pulldown menu.
This opens the Draw into profile dialog:
