During our many years of working with Autodesk® Civil 3D® software, we noticed that it was very difficult to calculate and display distances on section views.

Within the Civil 3D software, there are ways that allow us to display the distances on the section views using BAND and BAND SET.

However, we considered that this was insufficient, and we started developing a plug-in that calculates and displays distances on section views in a simple way.

To every civil engineer, technician and other construction participant dimension lines are familiar and close to them. 

Based on the selection of the corridor and the codes of that corridor, our plug-in will calculate and display the distances in the selected dimension style on section view and put them in the layer you choose.

In this way, you will always have clear distances on section views and you will easily notice potential mistakes.
