Why More Sample lines?
As you may recall, the first sample line group you created used the From Corridor
Stations method to create the sample lines. This creates a sample line and the
potential for a section view at each assembly insertion of the corridor. This con-
figuration is specifically for design purposes so the designer can see a section
view at any key point in the design if desired. Now you need to create section
views that meet the requirements for construction drawings. For this applica-
tion, you're often required to show cross sections at regular intervals. Here,
the intent is related not to the design process but to documentation. Because
you can create multiple sample line groups for any given alignment, you could
set up one sample line group for design purposes and one for documentation
purposes. In fact, if you use Prospector to browse to the sample line groups of
Jordan Court in this example, you'll find that the Design sample line group still
exists but that the styles have been set to hide the sample lines and their labels.

north of the project. Three new section sheets should be created
(see FigureĀ 10.9).

Sampling More Sources
So far, you have seen that corridors can be sampled and shown in a cross-section
view, but what about other sources of data? It turns out that sample lines can
also slice through surfaces and pipe networks. In this section, you'll learn how to
sample and display data from these sources. In addition, you'll learn how to add
