Automatically generate perpendicular cross-section lines along any selected path or boundary for precise site analysis. This tutorial covers the "Create Perpendicular Lines Spaced Along Selected Line/Area Feature(s)" tool in Global Mapper. You will learn how to set intervals and define perpendicular lengths, which is essential for professional road, river, and site cross-sectional studies. Today, we will explore the "Create Perpendicular Lines Spaced Along Selected Line/Area Feature(s)" tool, which draws perpendicular lines at regular intervals along a selected feature This feature is frequently used in drawings for cross-sectional analysis of business sites, roads, and rivers. Preparing the Line and Area Features First, draw an Area and a Line arbitrarily on the main screen. img 1 : Drawing Area and Line in Global Mapper After selecting both objects, Creating Perpendicular Lines Along S...

Learn how to generate the shortest connecting segments between points and lines while automatically calculating chainage distances. This tutorial explores the "Chainage - Connect Selected Points to Selected Lines" feature in Global Mapper. We cover the initial setup, attribute configurations such as offsets and start points, and the process of displaying results using custom labels for technical documentation. Creating Shortest Path Lines Between Points and Lines This function can be used to measure how far a specific point is from a river or road in a straight line, to determine the distance of an intersection from the start or end of a road, or to identify the best location when branching water and sewage pipelines. Let's get started. First, draw some points and lines on your screen. img 1 : Initial points and lines drawn in Global Mapper Running the Cha...

Learn how to generate multiple parallel offset lines from selected vector features at precise intervals. This tutorial demonstrates the dedicated parallel line creation tool in Global Mapper. We move beyond the old workaround of converting buffers to lines and explore the settings for spacing, directional orientation, and non-overlapping geometry to streamline your GIS drafting workflow. In this tutorial, we will learn how to create precise parallel offset lines in Global Mapper using the built-in Advanced Feature Creation tool. Previously, this specific feature was not available in Global Mapper. In the past, we had to draw buffer lines and then convert those buffers back into line features to achieve a similar result. Let’s get started. Creating Parallel Offset Lines in Global Mapper First, draw a line on the screen and select it. img 2 : Right-click menu showing Advanced Feature Creation Options R...
