Good afternoon everyone,
I have an issue generating cross sections in MXROAD SS3.
I click the Corridor Modelling R2 button
Then select the alignment string (which is referenced in)
Load the preferences
Select the cross section(s) required and name the model
The alignment strings show, but not the 3D extruded template or the existing terrain.
Inevitably I've missed something along the way, but I'm baffled as to what. Has anyone had a similar experience? More importantly, does anyone have any remedy?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

In the Reference File Dialog box there are columns for most settings. By default the Display, Snap and Locate settings are all adjacent to each other and to the right of filename, description, logical name. When a reference file is selected in the list of reference files in the dialog box, these same columns generally have matching buttons across the bottom of the dialog box - at least, those that are Toggles. Some offices turn off Locate by default to avoid accidental copying of elements from a reference file.
I can see in one of your images, you are using the Locate Element tool to show information on some reference file elements. This would not work on a reference file element if locate was not enabled.
BTW, using the Locate Element tool is very "Old School" - I used to use it all the time, but since tentative snapping will also show information, I got away from the practice. Interestingly, with locate turned off, but snap to reference still enabled, the tentative snap method will report information on the snapped to element.
