    You said you have an alignment for your pipeline. I have a horizontal alignment, with a proposed vertical (but that is not required). I did the following;

    1. Geometry > View Geometry > 3-D Alignment I did this to see the alignment in 3D when the view is roatated. (RED line)
    2. Set my location lock to be graphics Tools > Locks > Locate will toggle between Feature/Graphic
    3. Used Surface > Design Surface > Drape Surface to create a new 3-D line to show the levels of the ground surface (your bathy surface would be similar) (GREEN line)

    In the rotated view shown below, you can see the draped line in green. (I am not showiing the surface in the image)

    You can now import the green draped line as a vertical alignment is you wanted.
