Assemblies applied to Feature Lines
Summary: I would like to be able to apply an assembly to a feature line without having to first make an alignment, then a profile, from the feature line.
Description: I would like to be able to apply an assembly to a feature line without having to first make an alignment, then a profile, from the feature line. And I would like to be able to vary which assembly is used from point to point, just like along a simple corridor. This would allow me to quickly apply curb and gutter around a parking lot, for example.
How Used: To design site grading - I use feature lines, but have to offset them to get lip of curb,face of curb, top back of curb, etc. and I have to break them at points where it transitions from reverse pan to regular pan curb.

Re: Assemblies applied to Feature Lines
Excellent idea.
I usually grade by creating a feature line at the bottom of curb, then offsetting the top face of curb. This capability would eliminate the need to erase and re-create the top face of curb, etc. when the original feature line used for grading is revised.
