# Using the Height profile diagram

The **Height profile diagram**![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1784102096530.png)tool provides lateral information on the duct’s elevation relative to the ground. It includes both a graph and a data table to help analyze the structure and components of the linear object.

You can activate **Height profile diagram**![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1784102096530.png)from the **Tools**![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1784101490931.png)menu.

## Height profile graph overview

The x-axis shows the distance along the duct (0–180 units). The y-axis shows elevation (0–100 units). The purple line represents the duct’s elevation profile. Symbols on the graph indicate specific components:

- ● **Circle** – Air vent
- ▲ **Triangle** – Joint/branch
- ■ **Square** – Drainage well
- ◆ **Diamond** – Shutoff valve manhole

## Height profile table overview

Below the graph, a table lists details of the network objects:

- **Object type** (e.g., Conduit, Valve)
- **State** (e.g., In use)
- **Dn** (Declination)
- **Id type** (e.g., Undefined)
- **Owner** (if specified)

## Picking a height profile

1. Open **Height profile diagram**![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1784102096530.png)and activate the **Pick node** tool.![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1757420779343.png)
2. Define an area on the map where the desired linear object (e.g., a duct, a conduit) is located. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1757421369432.png)
3. From the list of identified objects, double-click the **ID** of the correct one to select it.![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1757420682716.png)
4. If you want to continue the selection to another conduit across point objects (e.g., a manhole, a valve, a node), define the direction by clicking the correct end of the conduit.Note!Even if you only want to generate a height profile for a single linear object, you must still define the direction. To do this, simply select the same linear object a second time by clicking on its opposite end.![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1757421065504.png)
5. Define another area on the map to select another conduit![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1757421041905.png)
6. The selected line objects will then be displayed in the form.

To download the **Height profile diagram** as a PDF file, click Export in the top-right corner of the form and select PDF from the drop-down menu.

Note!You cannot use the **Height profile** tool to change the elevation of the duct’s start and end nodes, but you must make these changes on the Duct form or with the Node ducts and elevations tool.
