One can configure other profile drawing options using this command.
Draw Hatch Pattern: This option is only available for segment drawings. Should it be activated, it will draw a hatched pattern in the surface area to be measured cubically.
The hatch pattern can be selected by clicking on the Select button.
Represent Blocks: This option allows one to select the blocks one wishes to draw along with the cross-section.
If the Configure button is clicked, the following window is displayed where the insertion point of each of the blocks one wishes to insert along the different cross-section cuts is specified.
The following dialog box is displayed to insert or modify blocks in cross-section drawings.
Everything concerning the definition and management of blocks is explained in greater detail in the Alignments >Blocks Definition section.
Represent Structures: If this option is checked, if there are structures in the segment definition, it will represent the block selected in the stations where the structure exists.
Group Elements: This option allows one to represent the set of cross-sections as if it were an AutoCAD block. This enables one to treat all the profiles as if they were a single object.
Draw Roadbed Layers: This option is only available for segment drawings. Should it be activated, the program will draw the roadbed layers associated to the cross-section defined if roadbed layers have been defined for it.
Draw Geology Layers: Only in the case of selecting a segment. If the segment has assigned geology, the different geology terrains will be drawn in the event this option has been activated.
Direction of Drawing: The possibility exists of specifying the way in which the cross-sections will be drawn.
· Normal: The drawing is first made in columns and then in rows. The upper left-hand cut is the first station. (Direction of drawing top – down).
· Inverted: Likewise, columns are drawn first and then files are drawn. However, in this case, the initial station corresponds to the lower left-hand corner. (Direction of drawing bottom – up).
Text Style: Select the text style to be associated with the texts labelling the cross-section drawing. By clicking on Styles any of the styles previously configured in CAD may be selected.
Grid: This option will enable us to draw a vertical grid or ruler associated with each cut to be drawn. The interval between the long marks and the short marks can be customized.
Selecting Vertical Ruler will enable us to draw it to the left or right of the profile. In addition, we have the option of drawing horizontal lines to join the dimension of the vertical ruler with the terrain. To do so, activate the Label division lines option.
Line Thickness: Indicates the thickness with which the cross-section lines will be drawn.
Position of Texts: We can select the position in which the texts associated with each cross-section are to be labeled. They can be drawn in either horizontal or vertical format. Moreover, we can indicate their position for each option in the upper, middle or lower area of the corresponding profile.

Preview: Selecting this tab will enable us to view the drawing of one of the profiles and the position of the texts.
