Summary
The GT_ADJUSTLEVELS command in GeoTools is a powerful fixer tool designed to recompute and modify cross-sectional profile elevations using updated elevation data. Instead of recreating a profile from scratch, this command allows users to regenerate levels and chainages based on a newly superimposed cross-sectional profile, making it an essential tool for surveying, road design, and civil engineering workflows.
GeoTool -> Geological/Mining Tools -> General -> Adjust Cross-Section Elevations
Key Features Include:
- Adjusts and recomputes cross-sectional profile elevations without recreating the profile.
- Works seamlessly in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander.
- Uses an updated 3D polyline or profile line as a reference for recalculating levels.
- Requires input parameters such as:
- Datum (reference) height
- Datum point location
- Horizontal/vertical exaggeration factors
- Annotation interval
- Complements GT_PROFILE, which generates cross-sections from 3D polylines.
- Ideal for surveyors, civil engineers, and GIS professionals who need to update elevation models efficiently.
Benefits:
With GT_ADJUSTLEVELS, users can quickly update cross-sectional profiles while maintaining accuracy and consistency, ensuring better decision-making in terrain modeling and infrastructure planning.
