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.
