To Create Multiple Profile Views

Create multiple profile views to plot shorter segments of a profile in individual profile view grids of a consistent length and vertical scale. Each profile view in the series is an independent profile view object. Each profile view object appears in Prospector, and you can modify the properties of each object independently.

Note: 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 for plotting.
