Visualization of a Cross Section.

This tool allows you to perform and visualize cross sections. At the command prompt, FlashMNT displays :

>> Click on the 1st point of the Cross Section :
>> Click on the 2nd point of the Cross Section :

Click on the 2 endpoints of the cut: the following dialog box appears :

Cross Section

• Minimal Altitude : indicates the minimum Z of the Cross Section.
• Maximal Altitude : indicates the maximum Z of the Cross Section.
• 2D Length of the Cross Section : indicates the 2D Length of the cut Cross Section.
• 3D Length of the Cross Section : indicates the 3D Length of the Cross Section.
• Center the image : Check this option so that the drawing of the Cross Section is automatically centered in the visualization window.
• Scale factor of Z deformation : Enter here a value representing the factor of Z deformation, or use the scrollbar to modify it.

If you have finished the visualization and don't wish to draw this Cross Section, click on , otherwise click on . In this case, a new dialog box appears, allowing you to draw the Cross Section :

Cut

• Minimal Altitude : indicates the minimum Z of the Cross Section.
• Maximal Altitude : indicates the maximum Z of the Cross Section.
• 2D Length of the cut line : indicates the 2D Length of the Cross Section.
• 3D Length of the cut line : indicates the 3D Length of the Cross Section.

Name / Layer

• Name of the Cross Section : Enter the name of the Cross Section. It will show in the Titleblock.
• Layer : Enter the name of the layer in which the Cross Section will be drawn, or click on to choose from a list.
• Text height : Enter the text height (of the distances and elevations) in drawing units.

Creation Parameters

• Distances scale : Enter a value.
• Altitudes scale : Enter a value.
• Comparison plane : Enter a value or click on to restore the default value (which is equal to minimum Z - 1).

Elements of the Cross Section

• Simple Cross Section : Check this option to draw a Cross Section representing the minimal information.
• With titleblock : Check this option to draw the Cross Section with a Titleblock representing additional information. In this case, choose the lines of the Titleblock :
• Altitudes : Check this option to display the altitudes in the Titleblock.
• Partial distances :Check this option to display the partial distances in the Titleblock.
• Cumulative distances : Check this option to display the cumulative distances in the Titleblock.

Adjust the parameters of the dialog box, then click on and indicate the insertion point of the Cross Section.

Remarks : None.
