Command line |
This utility is used to obtain a longitudinal profile file from cross-sections. The process transforms the stations of the cross-sections into distances, to which the axis elevation of each profile is assigned, directly or interpolated.
When you run this option, the following window will appear in which you will specify the cross-sections file, the long section file to be created and the distance to the axis.

The longitudinal will be generated from the specified "Distance to Alignment". Considering negative values for the left of the alignment and positive values for the right of the alignment.
.Example: Cross-sections and long section obtained from these. In this case, generated at zero distance, that is, in the alignment position.
