Used to generate a View that presents a desired feature in profile thus enabling the Vertical Geometry tools to interact with the chosen feature.

You can access this tool from the following:

Use the Open Profile Model tool to generate a View that presents a desired feature in profile thus enabling the Vertical Geometry tools to interact with the chosen feature.

1. Select the Open Profile Model icon.

   

2. Move the cursor into the workspace and note that it is accompanied by a command prompt requesting that you, "Locate Plan Element".

3. Select the element with which you wish to work in profile.

Create 3D Cuts

3D cut through methods slice a 3D model along the profile and display the component layers of a Roadway Corridor and other elements (i.e. drainage pipes).

Use the 3D Cut through tool to slice the 3D Model in the profile view at the desired location. This tool enables to interact with the chosen feature with two different placement methods as listed below.

1. Corner Method
2. Full Profile Method

The table below describes the two placement methods of 3D cut through tool.

Refresh 3D Cuts

The 3D tool also allows you to refresh the 3D cut with two methods to refresh if required.

1. Refresh All 3d Cuts
2. Refresh All 3d Cuts With Levels

The table below describes the two methods to refresh the 3D cuts.
