====== Profile Generator ======

The Profile Generator can be used to generate a new group of profiles.

**
Generate Within This Area ** \\
The profiles are generated within a rectangular area oriented either north-south or east-west. The buffer distance is half the profile spacing so that all data in the area will be on one and only one profile.

**
Geometry ** \\
These settings control the distribution and geometry of the generated profiles. \\
__Profile Spacing:__
Distance between profiles in scene units. The first profile in the group will be placed half a spacing from the area defined above. \\
__Top Elevation:__
Top elevation of the profiles. \\
__Bottom Elevation:__
Bottom elevation of the profiles

**
Add To Maps ** \\
The list shows all the maps in the current project. The generated profile group will be added as a layer in each of the checked maps.

**
Orientation ** \\
East-west: Profiles will be oriented from west to east. \\
North-South: Profiles will be oriented from south to north.

__
Profile Group Name: __ \\
Name of the group object node and prefix for each profile. Individual profiles will be named Prefix_N where N is the profile number starting from 1.
