Adding spot shots

Chris -

Is there a way to add spot shots to my cross section geometry? I can only seem to add points from the "new" icon off of a contour. I would like to be able to click on a node, which my cross section passes through, and select that stationing and add that elevation. I understand that it will not recognize the elevation the node represents, but I can easily edit that feature. I am just wondering if there is some way to select that node, because right now it seems that the edit geometry feature will only allow me to select stations where there is a contour.

thanks

Kim

Dear Kim :

Note that RMS and RiverCAD should recognize the point that you select.

However, if you have already created a cross-section cut in plan view, you can very easily add additional points on the cross-section cut. Select Input | Ground Geometry | Edit Geometry. The Edit Geometry dialog box that is displayed contains a button labeled "New". Using this button, you can then return to your topo map view and select on the cross-section cut line where you want additional points to be added. RMS will then interpolate ground elevations from the current cross-section cut line. You can then easily adjust these elevations from within the Edit Geometry dialog box.

If you have any additional questions or need any further information, please contact me again.
