You can run inquiries on points, surfaces, alignments, profiles, profile views, sections, section views, and corridor sections.

Inquiry Type	Inquiry Input	Inquiry Results
Point Inverse	Two points	Direction Horizontal Distance Grid Direction Grid Distance Geodetic Direction (Forward) Geodetic Direction (Reverse) Geodetic Distance
Surface Elevation and Grade At Point	Surface Point on surface	Surface elevation at point Grade (percentage) Slope Grade (degree) Slope direction
Surface Elevation and Grade Between Points	Surface Two points on surface	Surface elevation at each point Elevation difference between points Distance between points Grade (percentage) Slope Grade (degree) Slope direction
Alignment Station and Offset at Point	Alignment Offset point	Station at point Offset at point
Alignment Station, Offset, and Profile Elevation at Point	Alignment Profile Horizontal offset point	Station at point Offset at point Profile elevation at alignment station Note This command lists the elevation not at the offset point, but on the alignment. Use the following query to list the elevation at the selected offset point.
Alignment Station, Offset, and Surface Elevation at Point	Alignment Surface Horizontal offset point	Station at point Offset at point Surface elevation at point
Alignment Two Stations and Offsets at Point	Two alignments Offset point	Stations and offsets (in relation to both alignments)
Profile View Station and Elevation at Point	Profile View Point on profile view	Station at point Elevation at point
Profile View Elevation and Grade Between Points	Profile View Two points on profile view	Elevation difference between points Distance between points Grade (percentage) Slope Grade (degree)
Profile Station and Elevation at Point	Profile Point on profile	Station at point Elevation at point
Profile Elevation Difference at Station	Profile view Two profiles Point on profile view	Station at point Elevation difference between profiles at point
Section View Offset and Elevation at Point	Section view Point on section view	Station at point Horizontal offset at point Elevation at point
Section View Elevation and Grade Between Points	Section view Two points on section view	Station of selected section view Elevation difference between points Distance between points Grade (percentage) Slope Grade (degree)
Section Offset and Elevation at Point	Section Point on section	Offset at selected point Elevation of section at offset point
Section Difference at Offset	Section View Two sections Offset point	Offset at selected point Elevation difference between the sections at offset point
Tip To select a section, zoom into a section view and click the section object inside the view. If you sampled multiple surfaces and you have trouble selecting the correct section surface, edit the section view properties (Sections Tab (Section View Properties Dialog Box)) and turn off the display of the sections you do not want to select.
Corridor Section Offset and Elevation at Point	Prerequisite: Run View/Edit Corridor Sections Command and select station Offset/Elevation point	Offset at selected point Elevation at selected point
Corridor Section Elevation and Grade Between Points	Prerequisite: Run View/Edit Corridor Sections Command and select station Two Offset/Elevation points	Elevation difference between points Distance between points Grade (percentage) Slope Grade (degree)
Corridor Section Elevation Difference at Offset	Prerequisite: Run View/Edit Corridor Sections Command and select station Two corridor surfaces Offset/Elevation point	Offset at selected point Elevation difference between corridor surfaces at selected point
