Move offsets in profile to above and below the centerline.

Background

User is displaying offsets in a profile (as defined in Surface>Surface Properties), but since they are at the same relative elevations, the lines are being drawn on top of each other.  Th user wishes to move the offset lines some distance above and below the centerline profile.

Steps to Accomplish

Option 1

1. In MicroStation, turn OFF Graphic Group.

2. Use the MicroStation move command to select the offset lines and move them the desired distance in the profile.

Option 2

1. If it is necessary for the graphic lines to stay associated to a profile grid, this may also be done by placing the centerline profile with all the grid and axis graphics at the desired location, then cut seperate profiles for each offset that is place at the desired vertical distance from the centerline.  These profiles can be places with the grid lines, axis, and lables all turned OFF.

2. This method would maintian three independent profile sets that can be annotated and updated using the vairous profile tools.
