Use name as layer Do one of the following:
  • Select the checkbox to place the long section on a layer with the same name as the long section.
  • Clear the checkbox to place the long section on the active layer.
Note:
  • Place each long section on a different layer so you can control which long sections are visible in the long section view.
  • If a new layer is created it is given the same settings as the layer template. If a layer template has not been specified the active layer settings are used as the default.
  • If a new layer is created, turn the layers visibility on in any existing long section views and viewports where you want the long section to display.

  • If the long sections start and end points are not at the start/end of the Alignment, some long section heights may be interpolated.
