Label Minus Sign: Will label a minus sign on negative slopes.
Label Format: Specify how to label the profile slopes. The automatic settings means to use a percent label for any slope less than 10%. and a ratio for any slope greater that 10%.
Label Method: Choose to label the entire profile at once or to pick individual segments.
Reduce Profile Points: When checked, the number of labels created on the profile will be reduced based on the Offset Distance value. Applies only to the Entire Polyline selection option..
Offset Distance: Specify maximum offset between profile vertices. Only available when Reduce Profile Points toggle is checked on.
