Create a cross section

A cross section shows transverse profiles along your profile line, where you can control the interval and the width to the left and right.

  1. Select Cross section if it is not already active.

  2. Create your profile line either freehand or by importing a profile line.

  3. Adjust the cross section settings – changes are shown directly in the scene:

    • Interval (m) – distance between sections.

    • Interval distribution – choose 2D (Flatten) or 3D (Follow line).

    • Width left (m) – distance to the left.

    • Width right (m) – distance to the right.

  4. The cross section result is displayed directly in the graph – each surface is represented by its own line, explained in the legend on the right.

  5. To change the color of a line, click the colored square in the legend.

  6. To hide or show an object in the scene, toggle it in the object list – the graph updates automatically.

  7. To move between sections, either enter a value in the Section 0 / 000.000 field (the starting section) or click a section directly in the scene.

  8. To export the cross section to PDF, click the Export PDF icon.
