Transitions between fill slopes on the same alignment

I was able to do it this way in PowerCivil now. I used Point Control and a line. It worked like a charm.

Ok, I've done transitions with the transition button but when I want to edit the transitions my edit window is empty i.e. I cant choose which points in the first template connects to which points in the second template. What have I done wrong?

I don't know InRoads but if it has similar capabilities to Civil 3D then I wonder if you could create a target daylight line that fits the ground where you need it to transition around a feature. The daylight link of the corridor would target that daylight line and give you a contiguous corridor without having to apply multiple assemblies or transitions.

I don't really understand your slope transition syntax from the way you provided it. Anyways in the template create a label called something like Side_Slope then update the drop template. Next add a parametric constraint by using the tool that has the two lines with a question mark in it. If the slope varies from 1:2 to 1:1 linearly then give the stations and slopes in the parametric constraints dialog boxes.

Can you give me some guidance in how to do something like that? My slopes transitions between 1:2,2 -> 1:2 -> 1:1,8 -> 1:1,5 -> 1:1.

Yes that's right. The embankment height is the same so I cant make a template that changes because of the height. The difference in slopes are because of a concrete structure that needs to be avoided. How do i make a transition template? My slopes transitions between 1:2,2 -> 1:2 -> 1:1,8 -> 1:1,5 -> 1:1.

Or you could use one template with a parametric constraint to control the slope.

Can I confirm that the design above has been created using different separate templates with different fill slope values rather then a single template set up with a different fill slopes depending on embankment height.

A single template setup with different fill slopes depending on embankment height will do the transitioning between slope automatically.

Separate templates with specific fill slopes will require a transition template to be placed between each template with a variable fill slope, i.e start at 1:1.5 end at 1:2.
