Are there any special settings I need to use in this instance? I am working on an interchange where the bridge crosses the interstate. There is a loop ramp that starts at the end of the bridge, then loops around and passes underneath the bridge, parallel with the interstate. I keep getting weird things happening with the bridge, even when I just create the surface from the bridge corridor.
In the picture below, you can see how the tin gets messed up just as the bridge passes over the ramp below, even though I havent included the ramp in the surface.
Thanks

Vern and I came up with a solution. I had one corridor that consisted of my mainline roadway and the bridge. I switched to the bridge with my bridge template drop and then back to the roadway with the roadway template drop.
The change we made was making the bridge its own separate corridor. I copied my Mainline corridor and named it Bridge. This preserved all the settings of my original corridor for the new one. I then put a Blank template in where the Bridge was on original corridor. On the new Bridge corridor, I removed everything but the Bridge template drop and changed the corridor limits to just those of the bridge limits.
This fixed the issue. I dont believe there is any way to have one surface above another surface when creating a tin.
