Plan and Profile

What

Use this function to generate a plan and longitudinal profile for the corresponding plan.

Plan and respective profiles will be generated on a section basis of 750.0 m for a drawing scale of 1:1000. For other scales, the section length varies.
The function clips and pastes together parts of plans and corresponding longitudinal profiles.
The function is based on the AutoCAD commands Model space and Paper space.
For a detailed description of Model space and Paper space, see AutoCAD help.

The minimum requirements before executing the function are the following:

Draw the plan of the Water and Sewer project using the function Plan.
Draw plan frames to the plan using the function Insert Frame/Panel of the menu Novapoint Drawing Layouts.
For a detailed description of generating plan frames, refer to the topic Insert Frame/Panel.
The frame to be used for this function is Half height A1.
The length of the frame/panel depends on the Drawing Scale.
Plan frames are to be drawn all along the trench length, for which plan and profiles are to be generated.
The frames should be oriented such that they are parallel to the trench. Orientation can be done using AutoCAD's Rotate, Move, etc., functions.
Draw the profile frames using the function Longitudinal Profile.
