This command creates a retaining wall object using a polyline to
define the alignment and attaching top and bottom profiles. This
polyline is recognized by surface modeling commands like
Triangulate and Contour as a retaining wall and the top and bottom
profiles get built into the model.
The polyline should be drawn so that the left side is the low
side and the right side is high. Use the Reverse Polyline command
in the Edit>Polyline Utilities menu if you need to switch the
polyline direction.
The command prompts to select the polyline for the wall. If the
polyline isn't already set as a wall polyline, the program prompts
for a reference surface file which is used to define the initial
top and bottom wall profiles. When the polyline is already set as a
wall, the program loads the wall definition and goes directly to
the profile editor.
The profile editor has a toggle to switch between editing the
top and bottom profiles. Please see the Input-Edit Road Profile
command for a description on how to use the editor.
