Description |
|
Generates a View that presents a desired feature in profile thus enabling the Vertical Geometry tools to interact with the chosen feature. |
|
|
Designates which of potentially several profile elements will drive the 3D model. The result is the creation of a 3D spline in the 3D model representing the combination of the Horizontal alignment plus the Design profile. |

Profile Creation |
Profile from Surface - Generate a profile whose elevations are determined by draping onto a surface. The surface may be a terrain model, a mesh, or mesh solid. Quick Profile From Surface - Generate a profile of a civil horizontal element by draping onto a surface (terrain model, a mesh, or mesh solid). Project Profile to Element - Shows one element's profile in the Profile View of another element. Project Profile Range to Element - Show a portion of one elements profile in the profile space of another element. Project Extended Profile - Show, in an element's profile view, the profiles of adjacent elements. Profile Intersection Point - Indicate in a Profile View where one element crosses another. The point is placed at the station and elevation of the intersected element. The intersected element must have a designated active profile. |
|
Lines |
Profile Line Between Points - Construct a profile line, between two user-defined points. Profile Line To Element - Construct a profile line, at a delta slope, from a designated location to a reference element. Profile Line From Element - Construct a profile line, at a delta slope, from a reference element to a designated location. Profile Line Between Elements - Construct a profile line between two previously placed profile curves. |
|
Curves |
Profile Curve Between Points - Construct a vertical curve between designated points. Profile Curve To Element - Construct a vertical curve from a designated point to an element. Profile Curve From Element - Construct a vertical curve between an existing element and a point you will designate. Profile Curve Between Elements - Construct a vertical curve between two designated elements. |
|
Element Profiles |
Quick Profile Transition - Define the profile of an element by matching the slope and elevation of adjoining elements. Depending on the configuration of adjacent elements, either a single crest/sag curve is created or a reverse transition. Profile by Constant Elevation - Define a flat profile at a given elevation for the entire element. Define Profile By Slope From Point - Define a profile of an element by computing a slope from a 3D point. Profile by Slope From Element - Defines an element's profile by projecting a fixed slope from another element with a design profile. Profile By Variable Slope From Element - Defines an elements profile by projecting a variable slope from another element with a design profile. This command differs from the Profile by Slope command only in the fact that you have additional options. Specifically, you can define a range instead of the entire element, and there are multiple methods of slope rather than fixed slope alone. Profile By Vertical Offset From Element - Define the profile of an element based on a vertical offset. The results are similar to Profile by Variable Slope command, except that, instead of transitioning two slopes, two vertical offsets are used. Profile By 3D Element - Produce a profile (in profile space) from a 3D element in the drawing. |

Modify
|
Profile Insert Curve - Insert a vertical curve into a profile element. Append Profile Element - Append additional elements to a previously established complex element. |
|
Complex Geometry |
Profile Complex by Elements - Construct a complex profile element from previously placed elements. Profile Complex by VPI - Construct a profile complex defined by vertical points of intersection (VPI). Define Profiles By Best Fit - Construct a profile complex defined by best fitting through a selected profile. Profile Reverse Transition - Construct reverse curves between previously drawn elements with an optional tangent length between the two curves. Profile Offset Transition - Construct profile elements at an offset from a base element. The base element may be a line, arc, spiral, or complex. |
