   The viewport configuration is changed to display two viewports, one showing the plan view and the other showing the profile view.

6. You're first prompted to specify a chainage along the baseline. You can click in either the plan or the profile viewport to specify the chainage.
   Tip: You can also turn on chainage tracking by using the Chainage Tracker ribbon options.
7. After specifying a chainage, you're prompted to specify a level. You can click in the profile viewport to specify the level or you can enter a level in the Level field on the Profile Toolset ribbon.

   The point is then selected in the profile view and the fields in the Profile Toolset ribbon are reset with blank values.

   • Specify a chainage and either a level or a gradient
   • Specify a length and a gradient
   • Specify a level and a gradient

   The profile entities are drawn using the input you provide.
