Extracting sections menu

The EXTRACTING SECTIONS functions allow you to extract data from a database into string files for plotting, viewing or grade calculations. The four selections available are:

  • Plan Sections for Plotting
  • Extracts data for specified elevations into string files that can be used for plotting or viewing. Each item selected will be written out to a specific string number in an output string file. A range of elevations can be extracted at a single time, and one string file will be created for each elevation specified.

  • Vertical Sections for Plotting
  • Extracts data for specified sections into string files that can be used for plotting or viewing. Each item selected will be written out to a specific string number in an output string file. A range of sections can be extracted at a single time, and one string file will be created for each section specified. North-south, east-west and oblique sections can be extracted using this function.

  • Plan Sections for Calculations
  • Extracts sample data for specified elevations into string files that can be used for interval-weighted average grade calculations. Each sample item selected will be written out to a separate description field in the output string files. A range of elevations can be extracted at a single time, and one string file will be created for each elevation that is specified.

  • Vertical Sections for Calculations
  • Extracts sample data for specified sections into string files that can be used for interval-weighted average grade calculations. Each sample item selected will be written out to a separate description field in the output string files. A range of sections can be extracted at a single time, and one string file will be created for each section that is specified.
