Labeling Superimposed Profiles

[mcconnellshelly]

In order to get the correct stationing on a curb profile I have superimposed the profile onto the centerline profile. Now I'm trying to figure out how to label the profile. The only labels that I seem to be able to add are for stations. I'm not sure if I need to create specific labels for the superimposed profiles or not. I'm currently using Civil3D 2010. Any recommendations of suggestions would be appreciated.

Well, I suppose that all depends on what you consider to be the correct stationing and labels. You haven't quite given us enough information to help you out here. Do you design your curb profiles based off the stationing of the centerline?

To answer your question yes, the curb is typically stationed off of the centerline alignment. For a typical roadway it probably wouldn't be as much of an issue, but when you have turn lanes the stationing along the curb is different than the stationing along the centerline it causes more of a problem. We typically show the profile as it would be seen from the centerline alignment versus the true length. So the ability to superimpose profiles works well, but I am unable to label a given point with the station and elevation.

I believe you will get what you want if you design the curb Profile on the centerline Alignment, and not on the edge Alignment. You can still target the Profile elevation in your subassemblies, even though the Profile is created on the centerline alignment.
