The new band is a graphical representation of the alignment
geometry. Upward bumps in the band represent curves to the right,
and downward bumps represent curves to the left. The beginning
and ending of each bump corresponds with the beginning and end-
ing of the associated curve. There are also labels that provide more
specifics about the horizontal geometry.

Applying Profile labels
Profile labels are similar to alignment labels. They're applied to the entire profile
or to a range within the profile, and they show up wherever they encounter the
things they're supposed to label. For example, if a vertical curve label is applied
to a profile that has three vertical curves, then three vertical curve labels will
appear. This approach offers two advantages. The first is that you can label
multiple instances of a geometric feature with one command. This becomes
significant when you're working on a long stretch of road with dozens of vertical
curves. The other advantage is that labels appear as new geometric features are
added. Continuing to use vertical curves as an example, if you apply a vertical
curve label to a profile, curve labels will appear or disappear automatically when-
ever you create or delete vertical curves.
