Hi Lars,
I find the Profile Polyline option very usefull, and I wanted to ask you. Can you add an option
in the annotation part of the "Profile Polyline window", the elevation difference between two
vertecies as well as you annotate Slope percent and Slope per thousand?
It would help me very much.
Thanks.

Hi!
Yes, the elevation difference will be included in next update.

Thank you very much.
I'd be most thank full if you could annotate the sum elevation difference between the two parts of the profile that are uphill.
Only the uphill parts not the downhill.
Most thank full ,again.

Sum of uphill? That seems to be a special request.
I'm sorry I prefer to add features that will benefit most users.

Sorry about the special request. I thought that everyone was interested to have a "sum" of the uphill elevation difference.
Maybe you could annotate separately the uphill difference and the downhill difference.
-
Could you please provide some information of situations when you would be interested in "sum" of uphill and downhill. Is that Civil works?

Of course. I happen measure points on the axis of roads that tracks, which carry soil from excavation areas, are following. They get paid according to the Horizontal Distance
and the Sum uphill of the road they follow. It would be very good if I avoided the human error, when trying to summarize the uphills myself with the calculator.
Anyway, by annotating the elevation difference between the segments, my job gets easier. It would be helpful I think if the numbers had a + or - sign. Of course the parallel
annotation of the "local" slope between the segments is good.
Thank you.
