About Section View Objects

Create section view objects to display sectional data in the drawing.

The section view object displays sectional data (both existing and finished ground/designed) along a sample line, at any given station along a horizontal alignment. A section view shows a section created from either a surface (TIN or corridor), a corridor (which is an assembly at a specified station), or a pipe network. Bands can also be displayed above or below the section view.

A section view, which is very similar to a profile view, is essentially a grid or graph with specific characteristics that are controlled by a section view style. Section views that relate to a sample line are stored in the Prospector tree in Toolspace under that sample line. Individual section views are accessible in Toolspace using the item view. If you delete a sample line in the drawing, section views under that sample line are also deleted.

A section view can include projections of other objects in the drawing that you want to see in relation to a section.
