About Sample Lines

Create sample lines along an existing horizontal alignment.

Sections are cut along each of the samples lines for a specified set of surfaces. Corridor sections are created when you sample a corridor.

You can create one or more sample lines that are associated with an alignment. In Toolspace, in the Prospector tree, the sample lines are children of an alignment and appear in the hierarchy in the Sample Line Groups collection.

Note: When you create sample lines for the first time for an alignment, you are prompted to create a sample line group in which to place the sample lines. This group also contains the list of surfaces, corridors, corridor surfaces, and pipe networks (if any), based on the alignment so that you can select the data source(s) to be sampled.

In the drawing, sample lines can be labeled with annotations, including stations and other information.

The section can be displayed using the section view. .
