Starting
point ID
Editable field
The point ID to be assigned to the first new
point on the line. The selected point ID tem-
plates from

Point ID
increment
Editable field
Is incremented numerically for the second,
third, and so on, point on the line.
Next step
Calculate
calculates the coordinates of the new points. The heights are com-
puted along the line assuming a linear slope between
