Profile - Create Surface Profiles

Last updated: 2023-03-16

The Create Surface Profiles tool is a batch surface profile creation too. While CIvil 3D does contain a native surface profile creation tool, only one alignment can be selected at a time. The Create Surface Profiles tool allows surface profiles to be created for multiple alignments at one time.
