Centre line grid from Elevation

Generating sections > Options > Centre line grid from elevation

Toolbox: SYSCAD GENERATING SECTIONS / Flyout options a2s_24

This command is used to display a copy of your elevation as subsidiary grid. This grid can be modified with standard AutoCAD® commands and afterwards be reconverted using the function ELEVATION FROM CENTRE LINE GRID.

Example: The elevation already drawn is to be changed in the diagonal structure:

kap5_32

1. Convert elevation into subsidiary grid (CENTRE LINE GRID FROM ELEVATION).

2. Stretch the grid (AutoCAD® command STRETCH)

kap5_33

3. Call ELEVATION FROM CENTRE LINE GRID.

kap5_34

Another advantage of this command sequence is that you can create now your elevation within seconds with another profile system. You get a cost-accounting comparison between different systems and series.
