Command Description

The Convert to Horizontal Linestring command allows the user to convert linestrings containing vertical tab data to horizontal data only, by linearising curves using a chord to arc tolerance. It will also add the calculated height at “?” values to the linestring.

  1. Click in the Linestring selection field and then in a graphic view select the linestring you want to convert.
  2. Enter the Chord tolerance to be used for conversion.
  3. Check the Replace existing box to replace the original linestring.
  4. Do either of the following:
    • Click Apply to apply the changes and keep the Convert to Horizontal Linestring command pane open.
    • Click OK to apply the changes and close the Convert to Horizontal Linestring command pane.

The linestring now only has data on its horizontal tab.

Note: This command only works on linestrings.
