4.2.4 - Create Sample Lines
Step Description:
Set the sample lines to pick up the corridor stations and to show the Create Sample Lines - From Corridor Stations dialog.
  • Click on the Sample Line Creation Methods > From corridor stations.
HINT: Typically the only sample lines you should be pulling are the ones that are where your corridor stations are. If you choose anything else you will not see your design or if you have pulled surfaces from your design, you will see non-daylighting links when they are supposed to daylight. This is due to the fact that any station other than the designed stations are interpolated.

Set the station range and swath widths.
  • Set the values then click OK
  • Close the Sample Line Tools (click on the X) to save the sample lines.
You will see the lines appear on the screen.

HINT: Swath width controls how the cross section looks on the sheet. Currently the sections can only be placed at the left side of the sheet.

Depending on the sheet template chosen and the horizontal scale, you will want to set your swath width accordingly.
