When this command is executed, cross-sections are obtained from 3D objects or MDT surfaces. There are different methods to obtain them. Initially, the program requests the horizontal alignment from which to obtain the profiles, which can be designated on the screen or by selecting the relevant file. The following dialog box then appears:
Surface: By clicking on this button, one selects the surface from which one wishes to obtain the profiles. Initially, the name of the current surface will be displayed. If a surface will not be used, this option is not necessary.
File: The cross-section information will be saved by default in a file with the name of the drawing and a .TRA extension. This name can be changed by clicking on the relevant button and selecting the file desired.
