To define the path along which to generate the 3D path profile, first select the path profile tool as your current
tool. Press and release the left mouse button at the position where you wish to start the path. Move the mouse
to the next position that you want to include in the path profile, then press the left mouse button again. Right
click on the last location in the path profile to complete selecting points and display the Path Profile/Line of
Sight dialog (pictured below). The Path Profile/Line of Sight dialog will appear displaying the 3D path profile
of the selected path. Any points along the path that did not have elevation data underneath will be treated as
an elevation of zero.
You can also generate 3D path profiles for existing line features by selecting the line feature in the Digitizer
Tool, right clicking, then selecting the Generate Path Profile From Line option on the menu that is displayed.
The Path Profile/Line of Sight dialog displays the 3D path profile and provides several options related to the
profile. A vertical scale is displayed on the left hand side of the profile window. The start and end coordinates
of the path are displayed at the top of the profile window. If more than two points are in the path, the
intermediate points will be marked in the profile window with a yellow dot. These intermediate points can be
toggled on and off using an option available by right clicking on the path profile window. Also note that this
dialog is resizable. If you have water display enabled on the Vertical Options tab of the Configuration dialog
and there would be water along the path, that will be displayed as well.
Moving your cursor over the profile window displays information about the current cursor location along the
profile, including the position and profile elevation at the cursor location. You can get information about a
portion of the profile (a sub-path) by left clicking to start a sub-path definition, then left-clicking again at the
