When measurements are conducted on the map, a new tool becomes available.
Cross-Section Tools ^
The user can draw a cross-section by selecting an alignment or clicking two arbitrary points on the map.
Alignment-Based Cross-Section ^
When an alignment is activated, the alignment-based cross-section tool becomes available.
In this window, the user can observe and alter the cross-section view with several tools.
The default "Width", "y", and "Logpoint search displacement" are determined in the "Project Settings" page, section "Cross Section".
If the user alters these settings in the cross-section view, they are only applied in the current view. By altering the "Width" value, the user can change the width of the view, and by altering the "y", the height can be changed, which is scaled according to the width value. "Logpoint search displacement" determines the distance the log points will be shown according to the alignment.
By clicking "Clear map and disable measuring tools" button, the user can drag the cross-section view by holding the left mouse button. By clicking two points on the cross-section view, the horizontal distance, height difference, real distance, and slope will be shown. When this tool is activated, measuring tools will be cleared from the cross-section view.
By clicking the "Enable distance measuring tool" button, the user can measure the distance between two points. By clicking two points on the cross-section view, the horizontal distance, height difference, real distance will be shown. These points can be selected from the model or arbitrarily from the cross-section view.
By clicking the "Enable area measuring tool" button, the user can measure areas from the cross-section view. By clicking three or more points, the area will be drawn and calculated. These points can be selected from the model or arbitrarily from the cross-section view. The area can be closed by double-clicking the left mouse button.
In the "Station" bar, the user can insert the station number. The location of the cross-section view will be changed according to the active alignment. By clicking the left and right arrows, the cross-section view can be browsed based on the step value determined in the "Step" bar.
By clicking the "Clear tools" button, the user can clear all the tools from the cross-section view.
By clicking the square dashed line icon button, the user can reset the view to the default state according to the width and y scale. The position of the view will also be returned to its original state.
By clicking the "+" and "-" icons, the user can zoom in and out of the cross-section view.
By clicking the "PDF" button, the user can download a pdf file that presents the current cross-section view.
In the "dz-filter" bar, the user can filter out log points whose distance to the model is under the determined value. This tool is dynamic, so the filter will be applied right after the value is changed.
By clicking "Apply", the user can apply the changes made in the cross-section view values.
All the active models, log points, and pipe systems are shown under the cross-section view.
By checking and unchecking the box next to the model, the user can turn the model on and off. All the models that can be visualized in the current cross-section view can be turned on by clicking "Use all project's models".
By clicking the "Models: select all/none" button, the user can turn on and off all the log points.

Long-Section Tools ^
When an alignment is activated, two long-section tools become available. The user can draw a long-section of the whole alignment or a bounded long-section based on the two points selected on the alignment.
Whole Alignment Long-section ^
In this window, the user can observe and alter the long-section view with several tools.
In the "Logpoint search displacement" bar, the user can determine the distance the log points will be shown in the width direction according to the alignment.
The default "Logpoint search displacement" is determined in the "Project settings" pages, section "Cross Section".
If the user alters this setting in the long-section view, it will be only applied in the current view.
By clicking the "Reset view" button, the user can reset the view to the default state according to the width and y-scale. The position of the view will also be returned to its original state.
By clicking the left and right arrow buttons, the user can alter the y-scale of the view according to the width of the view.
By clicking the square dashed line icon, the user can reset the view to the default state according to the width and y-scale. The position of the view will also be returned to its original state.
By clicking the "+" and "-" icon buttons, the user can zoom in and out of the long-section view.
By clicking "Apply", the user can apply the changes made in the long-section view values.
By clicking the "Draw cross section" button, the user can draw a cross-section view by determining a station from the long-section view. A new cross-section window will open after the selection.
By clicking the "PDF" button, the user can download a pdf file that presents the current long-section view.
All the active models, log points, and pipe systems are shown under the long-section view.
By checking and unchecking the box next to the model, the user can turn the model on and off. All the models that can be visualized in the current long-section view can be turned on by clicking "Use all project's models".
