Creating a ground profile line over a mesh

Hi,

I have a mesh which depicts the ground along a railway line. I would like to create a line string / B spline curve along the edge of the railway line (approx 10-20m from the track) for quite a distance. Basically I what I would like to do, is place tree cells along this profile line every 5m apart.

I can do this manually, but I am wondering if there is a quicker alternative?

Thanks

Matt

  • Wow your right!!!!

    Its with the stencil tool pallet .. never noticed it before ... I tried to use your keyin  but it didnt  work for me.. but its definitely in the visualization 3d tools

    but this keyin  finds the pallet group DIALOG TOOLBOX POPULATE even if your in 2d file...

    Great tool I'll make use of it more often now... thanks again..
