Multibeam bathymetry swath plan

Hi,
I would like to do a multi-beam bathymetry swath plan in Global Mapper 11. For which line draw I need to know the surface coverage in the sea-floor. I tried to use line buffer to simulate what I need but with this, the buffer area is always the same. For bathymetry multi-beam swaths this coverage is function of the multi-beam equipment angle (constant) and the depth (from DTM). Are there any way to do that in GM 11 ?
Thanks,
Ivo

Ivo,
I can't think of a way to currently do that (i.e. variable buffer width based on depth of underlying terrain) in Global Mapper.

Hello Mike,
Thanks for your prompt answer.
A multi-beam design planning tool must be very useful to all marine science people. Some free-ware software offer some kind of options to do that (e.g. MIRONE - http://w3.ualg.pt/~jluis/mirone/). I think that can be easily implemented. What you think about ?
Thanks,

Ivo,
I will add this to the todo list. I'm not sure how easy that would be to implement, but I haven't thought about it too much yet.
Thanks,
