Create Point By Section MarkerCreate Points at Section Markers

(This functionality is available with the Computations module)

Creates a new point at every section marker along the selected alignment.

To run this option, select the Create/Point command and the Method/At Section Markers command from the Computations task to display the relevant dialog box.

The points to be created will be given the attributes currently defined via the Attributes/Point command. You should use that command to set the required attributes before creating any points. If the point elevation attribute is active, the new points will be graded along the alignment where possible.

The point identifiers assigned to the points to be created will begin from the Starting ID currently set in the Point Id field in the dialog box . Subsequent points created will be incremented by 1.
