View Full Version : 2014 Vertical Alignments With Gaps

I have a project that contains 11 miles of water main replacement in an area of multiple hills with cut and/or fill sections. The road commission is asking us to put ditches back with 1:4 fore slopes, so the ditch centerline will be variable distance from the roads. In addition to that, the ditches start and stop multiple (100s) times through the project on both left and right side profiles. The ditch design were done using features in plan and projected to profile. However, I need to get the Proposed elevations to show up in the profile band. Except, the band wants and aligment, which does not exists. We tried to create a vertical alignment, but it would contain gaps (or have 100s of seperate alignments). Additionally our existing elevations are coming from a 26' offset of the section line. This too is incorrect as the existing ditches vary in distance (even going outside the right-of-way) as well as starting and stoping. anyone have any thoughts on how to display existing and proposed ground elevations easily and accurately?


in the attached, you will see the a gap in the proposed alignement around Sta. 64+00, in which the propsed grades no longer label.

Thanks,

Erik

Welcome to AUGI. :beer:

Consider modeling the proposed surface, then sample the proposed surface with a Alignment that represents the center line of your proposed utility, and create a Profile View for that Alignment. Once that has been done, you can simply Superimpose the proposed grade center line Profile into the above mentioned Profile View, where your band style can then reference the Proposed Alignment's Profile.
