Tutorial: Displaying and Modifying Profile Views

This tutorial demonstrates how to change the appearance of profile views.

You may change profile view style, add labels and data bands, split a profile view, and create multiple profile views to suit your production requirements.

The profile view style controls the format for titles, axis annotation, and other elements of a profile view.

Multiple profile views are useful for plotting short segments of a profile in separate profile view grids of a consistent length and vertical scale.

A profile can be split within either a single or multiple profile view. Splitting a profile allows a profile view to display a profile elevation range that is greater than the profile view’s specified height.

Multiple profile views are most useful when you are creating final construction documents from your design. For best results, design your profile in a single profile view, then use the plan production tools to create multiple profile views.

When you must annotate centerline and offset profiles extensively, you can create stacked profile views, in which each profile line is displayed in a separate profile view grid.
