Profile Class

A record of elevation against distance along a horizontal Alignment or other line. Profiles are used to visualize the terrain along a route of interest, such as a proposed road, or simply to show how the elevation changes across a particular region.

The Profile type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	AlignmentId	Gets the object id of the corresponding alignment for the profile.
	Application	Gets the Application. Not currently implemented. (Inherited from Entity)
	DataSourceId	Gets the object id of object that is associated with the profile.
	DataSourceName	Gets the name of object that is associated with the profile.
	Description	Gets or sets the Entity object's description. (Inherited from Entity)
	DesignCheckSetId	Gets the object id of design check set that is used in the profile.
	DesignCheckSetName	Gets the name of of design check set that is used in the profile.
	DesignSpeedBased	Gets or sets whether the design is speed-based.
	DisplayName	Gets the Entity object's display name. (Inherited from Entity)
	Document	Gets the Document. Not currently implemented. (Inherited from Entity)
	ElevationMax	Gets the maximum elevation value on the profile.
	ElevationMin	Gets the minimum elevation value on the profile.
	EndingStation	Gets the profile ending station.
	Entities	Gets the profile entities' collection.
	FingerPrint	Gets or sets FingerPrint of the Entity. (Inherited from Entity)
	FolderId	Gets the folder ObjectId of the Entity Returns ObjectId::Null if the Entity is located in root folder (Inherited from Entity)
	IsCWSReferenceObject	Gets whether the Entity is a Civil Worksharing reference object. A Civil Worksharing reference object is a Civil object shared to Shared Space. It is not editable. But it can be updated to the new version in the Shared Space. (Inherited from Entity)
	IsCWSSourceObject	Gets whether the Entity is a Civil Worksharing source object. A Civil Worksharing source object is a Civil object shared to Shared Space. It is editable and can be updated to Shared Space. (Inherited from Entity)
	IsEditable	Gets the value indicates whether the Feature derived entity (Alignment,Profile,etc) is editable. (Inherited from Feature)
	IsPartialReferenceObject	Gets whether the surface is partial reference surface. (Inherited from Entity)
	IsReadOnlyReferenceObject	Gets whether the Entity is a readonly reference object. A readonly reference object is either a data shortcut referece object or a Civil Worksharing reference object. (Inherited from Entity)
	IsReferencedSourceExisting	For reference object (IsReferenceObject == true), it will try to get its source entity while opening a drawing. This indicates whether the reference object has source entity. (Inherited from Entity)
	IsReferenceObject	Gets whether the Entity is a reference object. A reference object is located in another drawing, and linked using a data shortcut or Vault. If the entity is native to the current drawing this property returns false; if it is being referenced via data shortcuts or AutoCAD Vault it returns true. (Inherited from Entity)
	IsReferenceStale	For reference objects (IsReferenceObject == true), gets whether the Entity object's reference is stale. (Inherited from Entity)
	IsReferenceSubObject	For reference objects (IsReferenceObject == true), gets whether the Entity is a reference subobject. For example, when iterating through the structure of a pipe network referenced from another drawing, this property is true for each entity. (Inherited from Entity)
	IsReferenceValid	For reference objects (IsReferenceObject == true), gets whether the Entity object's reference is valid. (Inherited from Entity)
	IsUsed	Gets whether the style is used by other objects in the current drawing. (Inherited from Entity)
	Length	Gets the profile length.
	Name	Gets or sets the Entity object's name. (Inherited from Entity)
	Offset	Gets the profile offset.
	OffsetParameters	Gets an offset profile's parameters.
	Plinegen	Gets or sets the PLINEGEN setting for the profile.
	ProfileType	Gets or sets the profile type.
	PVIs	Gets the points of vertical intersection for the profile.
	ShowToolTip	Gets or sets whether to show tooltips for the Entity. (Inherited from Entity)
	StartingStation	Gets the profile starting station.
	StyleId	Sets the profile's style Id. (Overrides EntityStyleId)
	StyleName	Sets the profile's style name. (Overrides EntityStyleName)
	UpdateMode	Gets or sets the update mode of the profile.
	UseDesignCheckSet	Gets or sets whether the design check set is used.
	UseDesignCriteriaFile	Gets or sets whether the design criteria file is used.

Methods

	Name	Description
	ComputeFingerPrint	Compute FingerPrint of the Entity. (Inherited from Entity)
	CreateByLayout(String, ObjectId, ObjectId, ObjectId, ObjectId)	Creates a profile of FG type.
	CreateByLayout(String, CivilDocument, String, String, String, String)	Creates a profile of FG type.
	CreateFromFeatureLine	Creates a profile of EG type from a corridor feature line.
	CreateFromSurface(String, ObjectId, ObjectId, ObjectId, ObjectId, ObjectId)	Creates a profile of EG type from a surface.
	CreateFromSurface(String, CivilDocument, String, String, String, String, String)	Creates a profile of EG type from a surface.
	CreateFromSurface(String, ObjectId, ObjectId, ObjectId, ObjectId, ObjectId, Double, Double, Double)	Creates a profile of EG type from a surface.
	CreateFromSurface(String, CivilDocument, String, String, String, String, String, Double, Double, Double)	Creates a profile of EG type from a surface.
	CreateOffsetProfileBySlope(String, ObjectId, ObjectId, Double)	Creates a profile of Offset type
	CreateOffsetProfileBySlope(String, String, String, Double)	Creates a profile of Offset type
	CreateStaticFGFromProfile(String, ObjectId, ObjectId, ObjectId, ObjectId)	Creates a new static FG profile from another profile. The profile inherits the originating profile's geometry, the update type is static. The new profile belongs to the same alignment of the originating profile.
	CreateStaticFGFromProfile(String, CivilDocument, String, String, String, String)	Creates a new static FG profile from another profile. The profile inherits the originating profile's geometry, the update type is static. The new profile belongs to the same alignment of the originating profile.
	ElevationAt	Gets the elevation at a specified station.
	GetReferenceInfo	For Data Shortcut reference entity (IsReferenceObject == true), gets the entity's reference information. (Inherited from Entity)
	GradeAt	Given a station, gets the instantaneous grade and the algebraic difference.

Remarks

A profile can record the elevation of the surface along an alignment. Together, a profile and an alignment represent a 3D path. Such a path can form the baseline of a Corridor. A ProfileView is used to display one or more profiles for a horizontal alignment. You can configure data bands and profile annotations in a ProfileView to make it clearer or more informative for the user. In general, you do not directly edit a surface profile (existing ground profile). If you move the parent alignment or edit the surface, the changes are reflected in the surface profile. By contrast, the layout profile is a fully designed object that you usually edit in many ways, such as changing tangent grades, modifying curves, and adding or moving points of vertical intersection (PVI).
