Initialise Terrain String Long Section Data

If you are creating a new sheetfile, there will be no terrain string longsection data. In this case, you will not see the Terrrain String Data grid, instead you will see a Create Terrain String Longsection Layout button.

Refer to the Long Section Storm Data help page to see how to create the terrain string longsection layout and initialise the data in the grid.
