Hi,
I've measure Rl at regular interval of chainage.
Chainage RL
0+000

Now i want to create profile of ground along CL. How
can i do it? without need of creating surface.

Also i have measure the vertical offsets at regular horizontal distance on both left & right side of Cl.

How can i plot Cross section??

I am pretty sure you need to create a surface if you want the software to automatically cut you cross sections.

Thank you for response Brandonbw.
But I already managed to do it. :)
 
I am curious what you ended up doing too without creating a surface.

Need to have Civil Design installed in Landdesktop.
Create a pline & define it as an alignment
then import X-section measured field data.
Cross-section>Existing ground>Sample from file
{text format for file}
chainage
S .
-left Elevation
0 elevation
+right elevation
E


Profile>Existing ground>Sample from Cross sections
Profile>create profile>full
profile shall be created
Profile>FG centerline tangents>create tangents
Profile>FG vertical alignments>import
now create formation x-section
Cross-section>Draw templete
Cross-section>design control>edit design control.
Select formation templete & cut & fill slopes
Cross-section>total volume output>onscreen or anyother option.

Thats all i know.
