Hello all,

i am in need of some help. I am in the final stages of a large project and i am creating the last portion of the cross-sections. i am running into something i can not solve. So, here it goes:

I have a railroad track that has 2 trench drains one on the left, and one on the right. I am using the following pieces to build the trench: Link Vertical, link width and slope, link vertical. The trench is 1.5'X1.5'X1.5'(minumun). I have assigned feature lines to set the offset and grades.

The problem I am having is the left trench is inversed and the sub-ballast link is going to the bottom of the trench.

I have tried using trenchpipe1 assembly with no success either. I have included 2 png files to help show what is going on. The first picture is the assembly. The second is one of the cross-sections. the issue is shown on the second picture. The left trench should look like the right trench.

thanks,

problem is solved. Here is what I did in hopes it may help a newer user such as my self.

I ended up creating 2 extra sets of point codes named P3 and P4. I also created 2 new Link codes named Ditch and Ditch Bottom. I created the 2 new surfaces in the corridor. And it worked. I did have to delete a few errorous lines in the surface created by the computer but all in all I am glad I got it finally.
