InRoads S&S Profiles Crossings

Hello All,

On a profile, I'm trying to show the size of each crossing (e.g. 4" water pipe or 6" sanitary line) to scale. Can I control how the features are displayed on the profile? If so, how? Thanks...

  • Are these features in a DTM?  If so, in the Style attached to feature, edit the Surface Feature Symbology, and set the Profile Point to display a cell that represents your different size pipes.  Then when you show Crossing Points in Profile, the cell will be placed and scaled as necessary.

  • In another post, you mentioned not having a depth. You can drape features on a surface, with a vertical offset to assign an assumed elevation.

    Bonus Tip: If you add special text to the description or parent fields of the features, you can use them as part of an automatic label. For example - "Depth Assumed - 3' Min. Cover" as the feature Description or Parent and then when annotating features in profile or cross section, enable one of those as part of the annotation.
