This tool allows you to assign the elevation of all the intermediate points along a polyline by specifying the endpoints. This tool requires an open 3D polyline. If you have a 2D polyline that you wish to slant, simply use ToolPac's 2D to 3D conversion first. If you have a closed 3D polyline, simply open it, perform the slant, then close it again.
Keyboard Command: PlnPrpSla
Procedure:
- Issue the Proportional Slant command from the polyline/3Dpoly flyout.
- Select a single open 3D polyline to process.
- Specify the elevation of the beginning point. A temporary marker will be displayed for verification.
- Specify the elevation of the ending point. A temporary marker will be displayed for verification.
Reminder, all vertices between the beginning and end point will have their elevation changed to a value that is proportional to its distance along the polyline.
