3D Profile is an object with a cross-section along a line. A profile can be a group consisting of several profiles. User can use the Cut - Profile operation to create own profiles

A 3D profileProfile object has next properties:

  • Width (profile thickness): Thickness of profile along the plane in which the line is drawn
  • Height (profile depth): Thickness of profile perpendicular to the plane in which the line is drawn
  • Last Values: Height, width, and alignment of the most recently used profile
  • Insert: The profile is created to the left, right, or along the centre of the line (alignment)
  • Distance: The profile is created at this distance from the line drawn (parallel)

Cut profile:

  • The cross-section is defined the same way as when cutting an object; this is why the command is called "Cut - Profile"
  • Select an object in the scenery that has the desired cross-section
  • Start the Cut - Profile operation
  • A section through the object will be produced, just like with the Cut operation
  • The cut face will be used as a cross-section for the profile
  • The face is shown in the Settings window for the cut - profile object
