Topics in this section
- About Sections
You can use sections to examine existing and proposed surface levels sampled across an alignment at defined chainage intervals. - About Sample Line Objects
Use a sample line as a linear plan object representing the direction along which sections are cut for a set of specified surfaces. - About Section Objects
Use a section object to examine surfaces, corridor models, and pipe networks along a sample line (across an alignment). In Autodesk Civil 3D, each section is an object. - About Corridor Sections
Use corridor sections to examine the assemblies that make up a corridor model, as well as the surrounding civil objects, such as surfaces and pipe networks. - About Positioning Sample Lines on a Corridor
Depending on the angle of the sample line relative to the parent baseline, a corridor section can be displayed in either of two ways. - About Sampling Multiple Corridor Baselines
A corridor section may sample multiple corridor baselines. - About Section View Objects
Create section view objects to display long section in the drawing. - About Section Object Relationships
Since sample line geometry controls where surfaces are sampled to create section objects, sample lines are the parent of the section object. - About Sample Line Groups Collection (Prospector Tab)
Use the Sample Line Groups
collection to access the sample lines, sections, section views, mass haul lines, mass haul views, and material lists in a drawing. - About Sections Collection (Prospector Tab)
Use the Sections
collection to access the sections in a drawing. - About Section View Groups Collection (Prospector Tab)
Use the Section View Groups
collection to access the section views in a drawing. - About Sample Line Collection (Settings Tab)
Use this collection in the ToolspaceSettings tree to manage sample line settings, sample line styles, sample line label styles, and sample line command settings. - About Section Collection (Settings Tab)
Use this collection in Toolspace in the Settings tree to manage section settings, section styles, and section label styles. - About Section View Collection (Settings Tab)
Use this collection in Toolspace in the Settings tree to manage section view settings, section view styles, section view label styles, data box styles, group plot styles, sheet styles, and section view command settings.
