How to Create Multi-Line features from a Single Line

When working with line features in LP360, especially as breaklines for curbs or other linear features, having the ability to copy a line and shift it can be very helpful in simplifying to creation process. The workflow outlines in this article will allows users to digitize only a single line for a linear feature, then allows for creation of duplicate lines that can be shifted to account for multiple sides of a real-world object, such as the front, back, and top of a curb.

1. Add or create a Polyline Feature layer
   • To add an existing Line Feature Layer to your project, use Add Files on the Project Tab
   • To create a new Line Feature, use Create Feature Layer on the Feature Edit Tab
     • Set the Type to Polyline
2. If creating a new layer, use Create Feature on the Feature Edit Tab to digitize the desired line feature.
   • For example, create a line for the top of a curb
3. Press Save Edits on the Feature Edit Tab
4. Select the line feature in the Map View, then use the Create Feature from Selected Feature tool.
5. Select and right-click on the copied line feature, then press Shift Selected Feature option
6. Specify the desired X, Y, and/or Z units you would like to shift the line feature by
   • For example, shift by X = -0.1 and Z = -0.1 to create one of the bottom edges of a curb
7. Press Enter on your keyboard.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 to create another line
   • To create the opposite bottom side of the curb, shift by X = 0.1 and Z = -0.1
9. Press Save Edits on the Feature Edit Tab
