I suggest that the Data Management geoprocessing tool Generate Transects Along Lines gets an option so instead of placing cross sections at regular intervals, the locations of the transects are defined by a point feature class/layer that was snapped to the line feature on beforehand, see sketch attached. Thus, a point feature class/layer must be added as an input to the tool - similar to how the Split Line at Point tool works.

Need this solution urgently (today). Seems weird that it isn't implemented yet.

Found workaround: used points to split line into segments and then used Generate Transects Along Lines with Distance value longer than the longest segment with option "Generate transects at line start and end" checked.
