And the way we create these sections is either manually by clicking each station. Or we can choose by a range of stations. So we will have a sample at every 50 feet based on the default settings. And our swath width will be a hundred feet wide total. I'll click okay. And you'll see our sample lines created in blue. So now we can add manual stations, or we can click escape to end this.
