This command would allow for a profile to be generated for horizontal geometry with at least two intersecting points.
Steps Involved:
1 -Locate Element to Profile [Main Element]
2 -Locate Element Which Intersect (Multiple Selections possible but at least 2 needed) *Highlights selected Intersecting ELements*
3 -Reset to Complete
Background Process, within Profile window
--- Uses Profile Intersection Points for each element the place points in Main Element profile window
---Then, connects each point using Profile Line Between Points going from left to right
---Then, Profile Complex by Elements to create complete profile alignment
---Last, Set Active Profile
RESULT: Quick profile using intersecting lines.
This tool would be a more efficient way for detailed grading using individual breaklines where lines need to overlap and attach to points from other lines. It is different from profile by surface because linework do not need to be draped onto a surface.
