Guys,
I need your help again. I'm trying to get my second track to follow the cant I've edited for the alignment, but it just seems to set itself to zero elevation instead of following the first track's vertical elevation. My templates have the second track follow the given horizontal, but the vertical is dependant on the first track's vertical. If I remove the point controls for the second track's cant, it follows the first track's vertical. If I put the cant point control in for the second track, it sends the cant to zero elevation, but applies the cant. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Keri
Keri,
Is the second track being modeled in a separate corridor? If not, how is your second track being controlled vertically and constrained in the template?

Thomas,
The second track is in the same corridor as the first track. The second track is governed by its own horizontal (set by control point), but the vertical of the second track is dependent on the vertical of the first track (set by control point).
I've run a completely different corridor with the exact same templates, and the cant and vertical alignments work just fine. I can't tell if it is a glitch in my corridor or I just don't have something toggled on or off. I don't see how I missed anything because the second corridor was copied from the first and edited that way.
I think you may need to send me your data so I can take a look and see if I can figure out what is happening. Sounds like it must be data specific.
After reviewing your data, the issue is that your Horizontal alignment that contains the Cant alignment has not vertical. Since the Cant is applied to the elevation dervied from the alignment, it was going to zero. No vertical alignment.
I hope this helps explain what is happening within the software.
Regards,
I was able to copy my cant from the SB alignment to the NB without having any translation problems.
Thanks again for all of your help,
