If you have altitude crossings for a dept/arrival the FMS will calculate for advisory vnav. this can be a crossing restriction of an assigned alt "5000", above 5000 "5000A", below "5000B", or between "6000/4000". The Vnav on the mfd will show the next altitude restriction only. If you hit "DIR/INTC" you will see all the Vnav calculations for the extire arr/dept. You can then use the most restrictive of all the points. It never fails that you see 1000fpm for a fix 30 miles out, but then 4,000fpm right after. From 30 out you may just have 1,500 to meet the end restriction. Obviously, you need to hit each "hard" restriction but it works well to show the overall path to assist planning.

Both the banana bar and snowflake work, but the OP is asking about the way to see it all at once. Dir/INTC shows that.

Just curious, why did you lable this thread as "ODP..." To my knowledge ODP means obstacle departure procedure. Not trying to bust your cajones, just curious. Did you mean STAR?

It's all about technique. Like most things involving technology, there are 5 different ways to get the same outcome. As long as an FAR isn't violated it tends to not be an issue.
