2. Select a surface in the Surface list.
3. Select an alignment in the Alignment list.
4. Click OK. Follow the steps below to open the profile view.

To view a surface profile:

1. In the Project Explorer, select the alignment that coincides with the surface specified above.
2. Right-click and select New Profile View from the context menu. The profile view of the surface along the alignment displays.
