Tool Description

Extracts section results along a polyline from the map outputs. Users can choose one or multiple results types to plot at once. The tool will plot data from the current timestep, or maximum data if the result type has maximum toggled on. For 3D map outputs, the tool will use the current 3D to 2D depth average rendering method.

To use the tool:

  1. Select which result type to plot using the down arrow next to the cross-section icon in the toolbar

  2. Click off the drop down menu somewhere in a blank section of the TUFLOW Viewer toolbar
  3. Click the cross-section icon so that it becomes indented and the cursor changes to a crosshair
  4. Left click in the QGIS map window to start drawing a line. Left click to add vertices to the polyline.
  5. Right click to finish drawing your line (note: line must contain at least 2 vertices and right clicking does not add a vertex)
