About Profile View Band Styles

Profile view band styles control the location and content of data bands.

Use the Toolspace Settings tab to create and edit profile view band styles. Use the Profile View Properties dialog box to specify which data band styles to use and where to place them on the profile view.

Data band labels are label objects that can be manipulated like other AutoCAD Civil 3D label objects.

The types of data band styles that you can create:

Profile Data

Stations, elevation of one or two profiles at each station, and elevation difference between two profiles at the station

Note: The individual geometry points to label can be specified with the Profile Data band type.

Vertical Geometry

Geometric details of vertical tangents and curves

Horizontal Geometry

Geometric details of horizontal tangents, curves, and spirals

Superelevation

Critical transition stations and transition diagrams for the superelevation at curves

Sectional Data Sampled station, material, typical section details, incremental distance and volume, balanced volume information
Pipe Data Location and key dimensions of pipe network parts, offset, elevation, direction

When you need a new data band style, it is usually easiest to find an existing style that is similar to what you need, then copy it and make the required changes. You can also create one and change whatever default values are not suitable.

The notes in this section describe what is unique to profile data bands.
