Corridor targets and section views - C3D 2008

[hbisco]

I am working on a roadway rehab streetscape design. The existing curb is to remain and the pavement will be milled and overlaid. The sidewalk from back of curb to building will be replaced and there is typically a break in the sidewalk slope to meet ADA standards.

I have created alignments and profiles for CL, EOP, BC, sidewalk break and building fronts. I have also created my assemblies with assembly offsets (to attach the proposed walk to the existing back of curb).

I am having 2 issues that I cannot figure out.

1. When I create the corridor there are areas where the corridor does not connect to some of the target alignments.

2. When I create my section views, only the main part of the assembly appears, the offset assemblies are missing.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hugh

It turns out that the target alignment in those areas was slightly outside of the limits of the tin - once the alignment was revised and brought inside the tin the corridor hit the target alignment.

I found out that offset do not show up in cross sections due to a limitation of the software. That seems kind of odd to me - maybe in future releases this will be fixed.

Yup, only the main baseline will show up in cross sections. As a possible workaround, you could create a separate surface for each material and then sample that in the cross sections.

What if you used an "omitted" LINKWIDTHANDSLOPE, targeting your BOC (ali & profile), from your EOP? You could then attach your sidewalk to this link. This would have all subassemblies residing in the same assembly without offsets and would result in all parts showing in the cross section.

Beware that all subassemblies will be modelled perpendicular to the controlling baseline, so this may not be as clean as your offset assemblies depending on the divergence of the EOP from the CL.
