Creating Cross Sections

[MHiggins]

I am not very skilled with LDT and I am trying to create cross sections of a surface from the topography. Can anyone help me?

Hey MH;

If you envision using these cross sections in support of a roadway, then you
should look into Cross Sections in the Civil Design Menu, as part of an
Alignment.

If these cross sections are only needed for laying out a Site Plan, then
Terrain>Sections should suffice.

...or if you're just doing a few, set your current surface, draw the single
line where you want the section, highlight it, right click on it, select
View Quick Section. That brings up a Quick Section Viewer. Pull down
Section and Select View Properties. Change themas desired, then pull down
Utilites and Import Quick Section. Once placed you can add a grid through
Terrain -> Sections -> Add Grid For Sections.

Seems long, but it goes quick for a few random sections

yep- the quick section tool is the shiz for basin sections, grade checks
etc...

even for smaller hydrology sections ... and it's "quick"
