Cut-Fill Hatch in Profiles

[danatZQCD5]

Does anyone know if you can stop the cut and fill hatches in profiles at a specific location. For example, I have a wetland limit shown in my profile and I want the profile cut/fill hatching to stop at that limit and not go beyond. Is there a way to do that? In the attached screen shot I don't want the hatch shown to the right of the wetland limit line.

Hi @danatZQCD5 you can create a copy of the red profile and edit it to make it go just until the wetland limit. Then you can set this profile to limit the hatch in the profile window properties. Give it a try and let us know if that worked

so if I am understanding correctly, I make a copy of the profile. Limit the stationing to where the wetland is and let that ride over top of the original profile? Or do you explode it and just move the hatching down into the original profile.

Sorry my other remark errored when I posted and I didn't think it showed up.  Not sure how to delete this one.

Hi @danatZQCD5, I'll try to make it clearer:

1. Create an empty surface and paste the surface of the red profile of your screenshot. Sample your surface again so you have your red profile twice in the same profile view. As in the following image, I have two pink-colored surface profiles exactly on top of each other.

In the image, you can see that my cut/fill hatch depends on those profiles.

2. Now, let's say your wetland limit goes until the station 0+200. Then. I applied a hide boundary to the surface so the second pink profile would appear just until this station in the profile view.

3. Change the boundary in the profile window properties. 

4. Now the fill hatch appears just until the 0+200 station

This is what I understand you want. If it is not, please provide more information so I can try to give you another idea. See the file attached to better understand what I did.

Best regards!
