[IR SS2] In Cross section, how to place an element at Profile grade location?

Question

Is there any way (Keyin, dialog, other) to give a data point at zero offset, profile grade elevation? 
 Yes, I am aware of the SE= precision keyin. I have to know the profile grade elevation already in order to use that. 
 I am hoping (against hope!) that there is some way to get the profile grade elevation for a known station while in that cross section(!) and use it to place an element. 
 Geopak had a great tool for this, but I am, unfortunately, no longer working in Geopak. Does InRoads have anything I can use like that?

Set the alignment active. In Plan view use the tracking tool. Tools>Tracking>Horizontal Alignments. Snap to the object and the readout will give you station, offset, grade, elevation. (the grade and the elevation values correspond to the active profile). If you don't have an object to snap to, draw a line or place a cell with the command so= (station,offset).
