X-Sections along a String

This option is used to generate a model of Cross Section Strings through a TIN surface perpendicular to a control string. The Cross Sections will match the surface of the TIN (DTM) surface and may contain a lot of vertices if the tin surface has small triangles. This often leads to difficulty when plotting [...]

X-Sections from Cuts through Strings

This option is used to make Cross Section strings by cutting through provided 3d data. From a selected centreline and a specific chainage interval or special chainage file this panel can be used to cut sections perpendicular to the selected centreline. This will provide a better interrogation of the 3d model provided, or for [...]

X-Section from Regular Cuts through strings

This option is a simpler option used to make Cross Section strings by cutting through provided 3d data. It is very similar to "X-Sections from Cuts through strings" for which there is a video and explanation on how the option is applied. Looking at the two options, the limitation with this option is no [...]

X-Sections from Points

The X-sections from points option creates a cross section by first defining s section line and then dropping all selected points in a user defined offset distance from the section line, onto the section line. (a) The Z-value for the dropped point is the same as for the original point. (b) The Point number [...]

Report X-Section

This option is used to generate a text Report file from a model of Cross Section Strings. Note, Filtering of unwanted sections prior to producing this report is recommended. Please watch the video provided below for more information and a look at the four report formats available. To view the "Report for X-Sections" Panel, [...]
