In order to obtain cross-section profiles, it is necessary to have 2D drawing objects and height or 3D drawing objects, or alternatively the digital terrain model, in addition to the horizontal alignment’s geometric definition. Furthermore, the process’ parameterization is very similar to that of longitudinal profiles. Repetitive definitions will therefore be avoided to focus on the differences.
In the case of surfaces, the existence of islands should be considered to enable the cut of cross-sections to contain information on both sides and no information in the central area.
If in the current drawing you already have the profiles drawn, in the case of modifying the horizontal alignment or surface from which said profiles were generated, both the drawing and the corresponding cross section file will be automatically updated, without the need for the user to intervene in the process.
