Creating Section views
Now that you have sample lines in the drawing that are able to show you cross
sections of the sources you've chosen for them, you need a means by which to
display that data in your drawing. Just as a profile needs a profile view to make
it visible, a cross section needs a section view . Section views are similar to pro-
file views. They usually display a grid and some grid labels as a backdrop to the
data they house. The section view is dynamically linked to the sample line and
associated data sources. This means, as with other Civil 3D objects, that if the
sample or source data is modified, the section view will update automatically.

Creating individual Section views
As mentioned previously, one extra consideration with section views is that they
often are created in large numbers. You'll learn how to address that challenge in
the next section. For now, let's focus on creating individual section views.
Exercise 10.3: Create individual Section views
If you haven't already
done so, download
and install the files for
Chapter 10 according to
the instructions in the
Introduction.
In this exercise, you'll create an individual section view to use for close inspec-
tion of your design at a key location.
1. Open the drawing named Creating Single Section Views.dwg
located in the Chapter 10 class data folder.
2. In the left viewport, zoom in to the sample line labeled 13+25.00
(0+405.00). Click the sample line, and then click Create Section
View  Create Section View on the ribbon.
3. In the Create Section View - General dialog box, verify that the
following items are selected:
Select Alignment: Jordan Court
Sample Line Group Name: Design
Sample Line: 13+25.00 (0+405.00)
Note that you can
change the width of the
section view by modify-
ing the offset range.
Station: 13+25.00' (0+405.00 m)
Section View Style: Design
4. Click Next to advance to the Create Section View - Offset Range
dialog box.
