Trouble with Best Fit Linestring

Hola

I have tried to use this command a couple times recently and each time I only want to adjust the vertical. No matter the settings I try, it fails and draws a line at 0 elevation.

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance

Your observation is correct - I would use Linestring Optimizer instead of the Best Fit Linestring as the controls there are way better - Best Fit is one of the TMLs that we took on from Trimble and we have not touched it as a command - the optimizer has both Vertical and Horizontal Controls - if you dont want the horizontal adjusted put in extremely tight tolerances like 0.001m but then put in tolerances that you are prepared to accept for the vertical e.g. 2cm and a VC length of up to 300m and it will strip out nodes and fit VCs where needed to give a nice smooth profile

I will add a defect into our system about BFL but I believe that we will do any of this type of work in Linestring Optimizer going forwards as the math engine in that is way stronger than that in BFL.

Thanks Alan. Optimize Linestring got me what I needed.
