From which elements can a longitudinal profile be obtained?

TcpMDT offers multiple sources to generate a profile:

• Digital Model or Mesh: By projecting the axis onto the existing surface.

• Point Regression: Useful when there is no surface; elevations are assigned from points near the axis within a "regression band".

• 3D Polylines: By directly converting the geometry and elevations of a polyline into a profile.

• Cross Sections: By transforming the axis elevation of each cross section into a point on the longitudinal profile.

• Segments: By extracting longitudinal profiles from the grade, subgrade, or natural terrain of a defined roadway.
