Do you have some idea, where would you like to use these data?

As far as I can see, if you will specify cross section that way, it can 
be used in 3D model (with a very special 3D generation algorithm 
designed to us these data). And some of these points could be used when 
plan or elevatn is drawn. Do you use them for something else?

And why not to give to these points some names and specify them as 
ordinary stations? May be with "duplicate" flag?

Normally, when you specify LRUD data for vertical shot - it is in fact 
West - East - North - South and that way it is used in 3D model. Would 
like to have possibility to specify passage dimension in arbitrary 
direction (not only LRUD)?
