Elevation table from alignment or feature line

[randallconner]

I need elevation data from a surface.  I need an elevation every 15' along an alignment or feature line.  I would like the information as a table.  I am not sure how to do this.

thanks

An alignment does not provide elevation data by itself, but a surface profile along that alignment would have the information that you're looking for.  The profile can display elevations at intervals using either labels or a profile view band, but I can't see any way to create a table for the data.

A featureline would have both location and elevation data tied to it, but again there's no table option for displaying it.

The only option I can think of is to create cogo points at intervals along the alignment or featureline, and put them into a table.

thanks, that helped.

The primary issue with the points option is there is no option to include the station/offset information. It's a good start but we still need the option for point tables to include station/offset from an alignment.

Here is a work around:

1. Draw Alignment over Surface.

2. Set Points on said alignment at 15' stations.

3. Create a No Plot Structure Style, I like to use a Benchmark Symbol for plan view.

4. Add said Structure style to a your Pipe Network Parts List, or create a dummy one and add.

5. Create a Pipe Network with Structures only, and snap said Structure style to Points on alignment and using appropriate surface.

6. Create a "Structure Table Style" with Alignment and Rim Elevation information only.  You now have what you need and best of all its dynamic.

This has done the job for me, it seems that sometimes we just have to get a little creative!

Hope that helps!

Thats sounds like an old LDt trick I used to use. Good job
