Calculate calculates the coordinates of the new points. The heights are com-
puted along the line assuming a linear slope between Start point and End
point.

Description
How the line is divided. Depending on the
selection, the following fields are editable or
display only fields.
Calculated line length between the selected
Start point and End point.
For Method: Number of segments type in
the number of segments for the line. For
Method: Segment length this field indi-
cates the calculated number of segments.
This method can result in a remaining seg-
ment.
For Method: Number of segments this
field is the calculated length of each seg-
ment. For Method: Segment length type in
the required segment length.
Available for Method: Segment length. The
length of the remaining segment.
The point ID to be assigned to the first new
point on the line. The selected point ID tem-
plates from ID Templates are not applied.
Is incremented numerically for the second,
third, and so on, point on the line.
Equally spaced segments
result from dividing a line by a
certain number of points.
