Further analyzing our profile and alignment geometry

As you may recall, when we were exploring the contextual ribbon associated with alignments back in Chapter 7, Alignments - The Second Foundational Component to Designs within Civil 3D, we had a few analysis tools available to us, but we were not able to use them due to there not being a profile present in that particular drawing file.

Now that we’ve data referenced our alignment objects in the Grading Model.dwg file and have also created profiles and profile views that essentially tie both the horizontal (alignments) and vertical (surfaces) Civil 3D objects together, we’re now able to explore these tools.

If we select either our alignment or profile objects, the same analysis tools become available to us in their respective Contextual ribbons. That said, let’s go ahead and select our PRF - Subdivision Main Road - Access profile object to access our Profile Contextual ribbon, as shown in Figure 8.31.
