Make Solid From Design

This command creates a solid model using a tunnel template, centerline and profile. The tunnel template defines the cross section. The centerline defines the horizontal alignment and the profile define the vertical alignment. Using the design files, the program creates a cross section for the solid at the specified station interval along the alignments.

Before running this command, the design files must already be created. The tunnel template is created with the Design Tunnel Template command. The centerline can be created by many commands including Input-Edit Centerline. The profile can be created by many commands including Input-Edit Profile.
