Set properties of individual profiles either from the Toolspace Prospector tab, or from a profile view.
You can edit some of the properties, including those for design criteria.
Profile properties are organized on three tabs of the Profile Properties dialog box: information, profile data, and design criteria.
The profile name, description, and object style. By changing the style here you can instantly change the displayed appearance for the profile.
Each profile is one of the following types: surface, layout, superimposed, or corridor.
A surface profile can be either static or dynamic. The elevation data in a dynamic profile changes to respond to changes in the parent alignment or surface. A static profile displays the elevation data at a particular time, and does not respond to changes in other objects.
A design criteria file and design check set can be applied to the profile if the parent alignment has a design speed applied. The criteria-based design feature enables you to verify that a profile design meets the minimum standards required by your local agency. These options are available if the Use Criteria-Based Design check box is selected.
