These tools are used to generate a longitudinal profile from a previously-defined segment or road. Thus, we can select the displacement of the desired horizontal alignment and from which source of information we wish to obtain the height of the different profile vertices.
On executing this command, the following dialog box will appear, which is described below:
Initial Station: Initial station of the new profile to be generated.
Final Station: Final station of the new profile to be generated.
Height of Vertex: We indicate the source of information from which we wish to generate the heights of the new profile to be generated. A choice can be made between the heights of natural terrain, roadbed or subgrade in the case that roadbed exists in the defined segment.
Displacement to Alignment: The setback to horizontal alignment for the profile generation. This can be indicated with a code, which should coincide with one of the vertex codes of the cross-section profiles existing in the segment, or it can be indicated as a displacement value.
Side: This indicates whether we want the longitudinal to generate to the left or right of the horizontal alignment.
