Does anybody know of an easy way to plot low points on X-sections, like ditch bottoms, on the roadway profile? Right now I use Active Chain Control and multiple View Windows to do it but it takes quite a bit of time.
Thanks,
Aaron
Aaron,
Try using the Profile Grade Report tool, it was developed for just this type of thing.

That's a hell of an idea. I'll have to try it.
In order to get the low points of both existing and proposed ditches, I'll have to merge the DTMs first.
