The profile I am working on now will not work for that because it basically goes around in a circle.  There is no viewpoint angle where the entire profile lays out in a line.  The plan view is a loop.

This is so distorted it is hard to figure out how it relates to the drawing!  The stations in this profile go about 3/4 of the way around the circle.  The upper half of the resulting map is upside down and magnified about 5 times larger than it should be.
