squishing profiles

Man, I've got a load of questions tonight...

Is there a way to make profiles/sections take up less space? I've got a
surface that crosses a major elevation, and even if I set the grid
above/grid below settings to 0, I still get two entire grids being
shown. Since the surface lies within a few feet of the major elevation,
that's a lot of wasted space.

Any hints? Thanks!

Jason,

You should be able to edit the profile view and set the limits of the
profile.

Thanks.

I think what I needed to do (I just figured it out) was to change the
major and minor tick intervals on the left and right axes. Which maybe
is what you were saying? 🙂

I don't think that is what he meant.

That looks like it would work, too. It's probably a little more precise
than my method. Thanks!
