Creating an Alignment for a Profile

Before the geotechnical profile can be produced an alignment must first be created, following the steps below:

• Draw a polyline along the route of the alignment/section
• Select the Create Alignment from Objects command from the Home / Alignment ribbon or type CREATEALIGNMENTENTITIES on the command line
• Select the polyline created above
• Press Enter or click Reverse to alter the direction of the alignment.
• The Create Alignment from Objects dialog box is displayed
  • The default options can be left, however for ease of use it is recommended:
  • For Alignment Label Set to "No labels", the alignment is easier to select and manipulate without labels
• Press OK to create the alignment
