Profiler

The profiler finds the elevation values along a polyline and displays them in a chart. The values can also then be exported to a text file for use in another application.

The profiler will create a profile for all the features in the specified layer. To create a profile on just one feature, you can select that feature and then create a new layer containing only that feature.

Note: While the profiler is intended for polylines, it will also work for points and polygons. It will simply follow the order of the elements within the specified feature and then within each of the elements of that feature.

Sample on Interval: When checked, the samples will be on even intervals. When not checked, the samples will be on the end points of the line segments.

Interval: When "Sample on Interval" is true, this is the distance that the samples will be made.
