Inside the Drift design module, we have many commands to create drifts, annotate them, create schedules, add ramps and many more tools. We also have a complete set of commands for creating longitudinal sections across drifts, ramps, cross sections or any other type of development that has a centerline. We have the option to create this section automatically or configure it manually and to add stations, points and project surrounding developments. This helps us get a better understanding of our developments with using a few commands and displaying the information with a few clicks.
