Profile section parameters for "Reference Scale Length"

Profile section parameters

You can use this option to enter a scale for the longitudinal representation of the profile. If the Splay setting is active in the Define Profile dialog box, the value for the length scale is limited. This is to prevent overlapping text. The current text height defines the maximum value. You can click the value in the input options.

You can specify how the vertical reference line between the profile point and its associated text/label is displayed. You can set a pen, line type and color. You can also enable additional parameters:

Splay: When this option is enabled, the text fields are arranged in such a manner that they do not overlap. The height lines are skewed to accommodate the fields.

With splay
	A Height B Station
Without splay
	A Height B Station

Terrain, Height Zone, Station Zone: Specify in which zones the height lines are to be displayed.

	A Height B Station C Terrain D Height zone E Station zone F Height lines

To employ a higher scale, you can either set the Splay option off or set a smaller text height.
