3D Editor

Create a height Profile

Use the Editor’s Profile tool to measure a scene.

Before you start

Open a workspace scene in the 3D Editor.

Who can do this

Members with Editor access. Editing actions depend on your role and the shared view permissions.

Steps

Open Measure in the Editor mode toolbar.
Choose Profile from the measurement tools. If a Create fields dialog appears, complete the required fields first.
Click along the route to add profile points. Right-click when the route is complete.
Select the new item in the Outliner to inspect or rename it. Save the scene when you want to keep the change.

A profile path appears; select it to inspect the height profile controls.

If the tool is unavailable, check that the scene has finished loading and that your access includes editing.
For an inaccurate result, check the scene measurement unit and move the markers or volume handles to the intended positions.
