PROFILESCREATE STATION LABELS

LABEL CENTERLINES OF DAMS, WATERWAYS, DIVERSIONS ETC.

To create a profile, you must first sample the existing ground from a surface.

Sampling the existing ground creates elevational values for the profile. When sampling the existing ground data from surfaces, you have the option to sample one or multiple surfaces at the same time.

To sample multiple surfaces, you must first create a file of the surface

names that you want to sample using the Select Multiple Surfaces command. Then you must enable the use of multiple surfaces before sampling the data using the Toggle Multiple Surfaces command.
