Use this tool to create 3D models out of a section along a line.
MOUS_ICO Menu: Landscape > Terrain design > 3D model - section along lineMOUS_ICO Toolbar: > Terrain design > 3D model - section along line
Start the function and the following dialog appears:
«Select path [3D Polyline] - select 3D poly in drawing
Select Cross Section - select cross-section (polyline) in the drawing. Pick a base point. The cross-section is shown in the display.
Redefine base point - It is possible to redefine the base point
Switch Path Direction - It is also possible to switch the path direction, thus the shape to be created will come out the other way around.
Press »Next
If we select “Draw 3D faces” we will be able to use the shape in order to calculate volumes - see Volume between TIN models - from drawing for further help on this.
