This function lets you construct a terrain section without a terrain model. The function is based on intersections with lines in the drawing.
MOUS_ICO Menu: Landscape > Terrain Section > Construct SectionMOUS_ICO Toolbar: Terrain Section: Construct Section
The user defines the intersections with the profile line and a dialog with all intersections comes up.
You can then type in the z-value for each intersection. If you snap to an intersection with an object with elevation, the height of the object will come up automatically in the dialog. The figure below shows the profile line with all the intersections and the terrain section generated based on the typed in heights.
It is also possible to edit a section. Point at the section and then start the function again. The function will then give you the dialog for the existing section.
