Shear strength profile at a line cross section?

Question

How can I create a profile of shear strength along x direction at a particular depth of my soil model (MCC) in PLAXIS 2D?

Users can get a line profile of shear strength by first going to Output and selecting the appropriate strength to view. Users can select shear strength mobilized, relative or maximum shear strength from the top menu by going to Stress>Principal effective stresses and then selecting the strength to view. Then select the line cross-section tool from the toolbar on the left as shown below. Then users can draw a cross-section which will then open a new window with the strength plotted on that cross-section as a strength profile along that line.
