Elevations Tab (Profile View Properties Dialog Box)

Elevation Range

Automatic Height

Specifies the elevation range for all profiles associated with the parent horizontal alignment, regardless of whether they are drawn in the profile view. The system refers to these values to set the default elevation range for the profile view.

User Specified Height

Specify an elevation range if you want the profile view to show other than the full height of the horizontal alignment.

If the current profile view style includes a padding (buffer) setting, it is applied to expand the elevation range. The padding is set on the Grid tab of the Profile View Style dialog box.

Selecting User-Specified Height enables the Split Profile View controls.
