About Creating Section Views

Create a section view to display an existing ground section, using sample lines cut across a horizontal alignment.

Sample lines (1) must be created prior to creating a section view (2). Section views can display existing ground surface sections, corridor sections, and pipe sections.

Each section view must be linked to an alignment. The section view displays new or existing sections. Sections can also be created without displaying them on a section view. When you create a section view for an alignment, the complete list of sections for the alignment is displayed. Choose which sections to include in the section view.

Create either an EG (existing ground) section view or multiple section views. You can change the display style of a section view, and add labels and bands.

Note: As a prerequisite to using the Create Section Sheets command, you must use the Create Multiple Section Views command to generate production-quality section views.
