Exercise 10.5: Sample More Sources
▶
In this exercise, you'll add more data sources to your drawing, sample them, and
show them in section views.
If you haven't already
done so, download
and install the files for

the instructions in the
Introduction.
1.
Open the drawing named
Sampling More Sources.dwg
located in the
Chapter 10
class data folder.
2.
Click one of the section views in the upper-right viewport, and then
click Sample More Sources on the ribbon.
3.
In the Section Sources dialog box, click EG under Available Sources.
Then click Add.
4.
Under Sampled Sources, verify that the style for EG is set to
Existing Ground.
5.
Verify that the Section Sources dialog box looks like Figure 10.10,
and then click OK.
After a pause, a red dashed line is added to each section view. This
line represents the surface of the existing ground. In addition, a
default label set has been applied to the existing ground line, which
isn't appropriate for this application. You'll remove the labels in the
next several steps.
This opens the Section
View Group Properties
dialog box.
