About Surface and Layout Profiles

At the bottom of the Create Profile - Draw New dialog box, you can specify wither Surface (EG) or Layout (FG) profile types. Profiles created from a file that do not contain vertical curves must be defined.

Profiles created from a file containing curves are treated as Layout (FG) profiles when imported.
