Measuring line crosses contours

Hi. I am sharing with you a a part of contour where I need to measure crossing dimensions in every apparent intersections. I am an engineer I have line with lenths of 170km which crosses contour lines. Can anyone help me with this situation which I stuck in? If I use commands measure or dist I have to click every crossing point one-by-one to know it's dimension, Is there any alternative way easily solve this trouble. It doesnt matter even a line is in 3d or 2d

Hi @muzaffarhabibjonov,
No way I can think of other than the way you're already doing it, one at a time. Maybe someone here will think of a clever way.

I was hoping that something could be done with a Surface and a Featureline. But that doesn't look like it will work.

Hi @muzaffarhabibjonov,

 

The solution I provide to you will only work if you are running C3D 2021 or later. First, create feature lines from your contours and the lines you want measurements along. Then use the Insert Points at Crossing Locations feature to automatically populate the feature line you want measurements along with elevation points. Lastly, create a label style that displays the segment lengths.


Edit: May work with C3D 2020; however, I'm not sure if this feature was introduced in this version.

 

Hope this helps.

Isolate the contours and the line.

use MAPCLEAN to break crossing objects

isolate the line(s) and convert to poly line (PEDIT multiple, join)

add line label to multi segment (stylized as you favorite dimension)
