Sample Line Group/Section View Group

Specifies which sample line group or section view group to project the objects to. This list is restricted to the object type that you select when you run the Project Objects To Multiple Section Views command before this dialog box is displayed. If you selected a sample line group but want to restrict the projection to a section view group, click Cancel, run the command again, and select a section view.

Projection Rules

  • By Percentage: Select this option and use the sliders to specify a percentage of distance before and after the sample line. For more information, see By Percentage Option.
  • By Distance: Select this option and enter absolute distances before and after the sample line. For more information, see By Distance Option.

The Projection Rules do not apply to feature lines, survey figures, or 3D polylines. Those objects are projected only when they intersect a sample line for a given section view.

Note

A distance or percent of zero projects non-linear objects whose insertion point is exactly on the sample line.
