11.6. Convert Points

          This utility allows one to obtain cross-section profiles from a horizontal alignment and a point cloud. It is extremely useful to convert a series of surveying points without the need of applying any kind of codes.
          When the command is executed, MDT requests following information on the command line.
It initially asks requests horizontal alignment from which the profiles are to be generated.
Initial Station: The initial station from which one wishes to obtain the cross-sections is entered.
Final Station: Station corresponding to the last cross-section cut one wishes to obtain.
Cross-section width: Indicates the cross-section widths of both sides to generate each of the cuts.
Regression strip: Defines the interval according to which MDT will project the points found to the left and right of the horizontal alignment that will comprise the cross-section profiles.
Interval: Interval with which one wishes to obtain the profiles.
Critical Sections: If this option is checked, cross-section cuts are created in the critical sections of the horizontal alignment.
Distances: Indicates the exact distances with which to generate the cross-section.
