The 3D Pline to PRO command converts a 3D polyline into a vertical Profile. Prompts consist of:
-Select polyline
Graphically pick the polyline that is to be converted into a profile.Note: The polyline can be a 2D polyline but it must have non-0 elevations.
Undo/Beginning Station <[default station value]>
Indicate the desired action or specify the beginning station for the profile.- Undo: Returns to the previous prompt.
- Beginning Station: Supply a desired station value.
Note: The "+" character does not need to be specified. If used, the syntax needs to conform to that of the Station Display format.
- The standard File Selector that permits you to specify the location and name for the subsequent *.PRO file.
Once created, the profile can be further customized through the Profile Editor and used in commands including Stake Offset, Stake Road, Elevation Difference, etc.
Note: If the direction of increasing stations for the polyline is incorrect, use the Reverse Polyline command prior to converting the polyline.
