'''"-brkline <gis file in 2d_zsh format>"'''<br>
This feature was added to the 2013-06-AA version of the utility.<br>
Extracts elevations from a DEM for breaklines in the 2d_zsh format. This GIS input should have four attributes, z, dz, width and shape_options, as described in the TUFLOW manual. For the utility the '''dz''', '''shape_width''' and the '''shape_options''' are used. Valid shape_options are "Max" and "Min" or blank (average used). The utility will extract an elevation at each <u>vertex</u> along the line. Depending on the line width and DEM cell size, the following methods are used:<br>
* If the width is set to 0, the closest DEM value to the vertex is used. If a "shape_option" is specified this is ignored.
* If the width is greater than 0, but less than 1.5 times the DEM cell size, the four DEM values surrounding the vertex are used. If max or min is specified in the "shape_option" the max or min of the four values is used. If max or min option is not specified (attribute is blank), the average of the four values is used.
