I am attempting to show existing storm drain pipes on the sections.
I created features and element templates for the pipes. The element template uses a cell for the pipe.
Everything appears correct in the cross section view in the modeler. The pipes are viewed properly.
When I create cross sections I get bad results.
Proposed roadway model does not appear, geopak cells are not grouped properly, pipes do not show as in modeler.
The proposed cross section DGN (mHC-MD197_MD197.dgn) is a mess.
I started the cross sections using a 2d seed model. I referenced the 2d corridor model with no nesting then the 3d corridor model with nesting depth=99.
The cross section file is mHC-MD197_MD197.dgn
The main corridor DGN is MD197.dgn
I uploaded/posted the files to the Road and Site Design as
Geopak_Support_2014_08_27.zip
Thank you for your assistance.

May I ask if you tried the SUE tools. I might suggest trying these as well.
For more information about the Road and Site design tools, visit the Road and Site design WIKI at: http://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/w/road_and_site_design__wiki
No I have not tried the SUE tools.
I am new to using SS3. I would like to avoid the additional learning curve with the additional software.
Do you happen to know if there is an additional charge for activating the license?
I do not believe there is an additional charge for SUE.
Which of the files has the element templates for the utilities?
Beebe,
mTO-S000_MD197_JMT.dgn is a file containing storm drain pipes and sanitary pipes.
Sanitary pipes are on level UTIL-SSWR-UNDR
And storm drain pipes are on level STRM-PIPE
Element templates are define for the various sizes of pipes in the file.
Thanks,
Phil
One thing I notice with your element template is that you have a Cell Settings defined and not Point Settings. The Cross section tool is looking at the element template for the point settings.
So you will need to make that change for each pipe as shown above. You can delete the cell settings portion. Or just leave it if it is too much trouble.
I think you may also want to create a new dgn file and reference one at a time the corridor model, existing terrain, and the control dgn. don't turn nesting on. Then see if the cross sections plot correctly.
No luck.
I tried your suggested answer but it did not work.
