Use the Toolspace Settings tab to create or edit a profile style.

Create a style by adjusting the default settings, or by copying an existing style and changing its properties to suit your requirements.

You can choose markers for key geometry points on layout profiles.

Set the style properties on the following tabs in the Profile Style dialog box:

  • Information. Specify the style name and description. See also Information Tab (Style Dialog Box).
  • Design. Specify the tessellation distance to control the accuracy of rendering profile curves in 3D view.
  • Markers. Specify the markers for locations on layout profiles such as PVI points, pass-through points, and profile start and end.
  • Display. Specify the display attributes of profile components, including visibility, layer, color, linetype, line weight, linetype scale, and plot style. See also Display Tab (Style Dialog Box).
  • Summary. Provides a concise display of the style properties. See also Summary Tab (Style Dialog Box).
