About Sample Line Objects

Use a sample line as a linear plan object representing the direction along which sections are cut for a set of specified surfaces.

Sample lines are linear objects that are used to cut sections across an alignment. Sample lines have their own styles and can be labeled (for example, SL-29). A set of sample lines makes up a named collection called a sample line group. A sample line group centrally manages the display styles and label styles for a number of sample lines, sections, section views, and mass haul lines and mass haul views.

Sample line groups related to an alignment are displayed in the Toolspace Prospector tree under that alignment.
