Report points are places along the alignment where a cross-section is calculated. They allow you to view cross-sections by clicking with the selection cursor and to report information in the Data Window. In addition, graphical features in the Plan and Profile windows are created by connecting points in calculated cross sections. For more information see Point Types.
This dialog box allows you to define which report points are created automatically and how they will be displayed in the Plan and Profile windows.
