XSect is an AV 3.x extension that creates a vertically exaggerated cross-sectional view from any point theme containing a numeric depth or elevation field. Cross-sections are routinely used in geological, environmental, mining, and archeological applications. They show how point data vary with depth or elevation by displaying them in a vertical plane. This extension provides consistency in cross-section appearance and saves great amounts of time in producing them. Its operation is simple and quick. You start with a point theme showing locations where elevation or depth data are available.
In the same view, add or create a polyline theme depicting the transects. Select the transects you want to use and, if you like, select the points to be used for making the cross-sections.
Pick the "Cross-sections" item from ArcView's menu and fill out a quick dialog. It asks you how far from each cross section to look when selecting points, the name of the field where elevations or depths are stored, and it requests an optional vertical exaggeration.
This dialog remembers previous answers, making it easy to fill out repeatedly. Within seconds a new cross section view appears for each selected transect. 
In this picture, the vertical axis is elevation and the horizontal axis is distance along the transect, in the direction it was drawn. Utilities integrated with XSect instantly and easily produce coordinate grids and background frames, adding a professional polish to its output. You can still use the familiar ArcView tools to symbolize and label the points according to the values of any attribute: concentration, geophysical properties, observations, or whatever.
The user manual describes these steps in more detail. It also provides links to our other software that enhances or streamlines the work flow even further. Complimentary copies of this software are included with XSect. More InformationGo to the payment and download page for the personal license ($99.00 US).
