Roadline - Sections Markers and Points

Roadline|Sections Markers and Points

 

This command calculates sections along the road line. It is also possible to take the heights from a road profile if one has been selected. This feature is only available if you have the Longitudinal section module in Topocad.  See  Road line for more information about the format of the roadline. You can also create lines for a fixed interval and section information for another interval from the Section Marker tab.
