This command creates a cross section file (.SCT file) from a surface model that is defined by a 3D rectangular grid file (.GRD file) or a triangulation file (.FLT, .TIN). The grid file can be created in the Civil Design module with the Make 3D Grid File routine. The triangulation file can be created with the Write Triangulation File option in the Triangulate & Contour command. This command also requires an .MXS file to define the alignment and stations of the sections. The number of section points created is displayed at the end of the routine.
