Command line |
This option allows one to entirely transform a cross-section profile regarding its direction and sign, so that the initial station becomes the final station and the positions on the left go to the right and those to the right go to the left.
The program's command line first requests the types of change to be made.

Reverse direction of progress: If this option is activated, we reverse the rest of cross-section profiles so that the first cross-section cut will become the last, and the last the first, the second the penultimate, and so on consecutively.
Reverse direction of distances: In this case, if this box is checked, all the cuts are reversed so that what was on the left is now on the right of the alignment and vice versa.
Example: Cross-sections before and after being inverted
