The ''Extract Cross-sections'' command uses the cross section arcs and a digital terrain model (TINs are the only  source that can currently be used) to extract the elevations at vertices of the  feature arc cross-sections, or at the intersection points with the  triangles.
 
Cross-sections for individual arcs may be extracted by selecting the arc(s)  before choosing the ''Extract Cross-sections'' command.  If not cross-sections are  selected then the ''Use All Cross-sections'' option is used.
 
Point properties (thalweg, left bank, right bank) can be defined from a  1D-Hydraulic Centerline coverage, or by AutoMark.  The AutoMark option will  examine the elevations of the extracted cross sections and try to infer the  thalweg (low point) and the left and right bank points (change of slope)  automatically.
 
Line properties can be determined from an area property coverage by  intersecting the cross-section arcs with the area property polygons and marking  them in the cross section database.
 
== Cross Section Database ==
 
When extracting the cross sections you will be prompted for the name of a  cross-section database file.  SMS stores all of the cross-section information in  a text database file.  The cross section database can also be edited  independently using the ''Cross Section Editor'' tools.  Extracting cross sections  with feature arcs is only way to generate cross-section information, they also  can be imported from spreadsheet files (cut and paste), or entered manually.
