I’ve used other point cloud software that allows you to create a baseline and take cross sections of the points at given intervals along the baselines. That would be a nice feature for surveying roads, streams and basins.

@mikev I agree! We’re working on it - first a simple universal tool, then something with intervals. I’ll keep you posted…

That would be a great feature.

The profile view tool gives you that same capability, without the ability to accurately start or proceed to the correct stations.
