3D Polyline by Slope on Surface
DENSAN
Global Mapper User
I would like to draw a polyline that follows a specified slope/grade along a surface. Is there any way of doing this in GM?
Similar to this tool in CAD:

If no tool is available, does anybody have suggestions for a script approach.
Thank you,

Densan-I would try this:1. Load surface in GM2. File>Export>Export Elevation Grid format>Float/Grid file3. Tick the "Export slope values instead of elevations"4. Export slope map5. Reload slope map6. Use the contour tool to draw the line at your desired slope
