I am benching from the top down. The side slope seeks intersection 2 feet below grade and then back up to grade. Then I need to bench from the top down and intersect the line 'Bench Target'. Can an end condition target another component in the template? Any examples to share?
I need to create a component volume for the area between the side slope and the benching. Can the overlay components be made to follow the benching?
I can do this with display rules and many benches of different heights or in two parts. The first is to run the basic side slope template and the use a linear template to do benching. I would like to have a single template that achieves the goal.
Thanks,
Paul
You BETTER recognize that Ray!!! ; )
Hey! That looks familiar!
Module 4 at this link describes the use of Mark's template. As he says, it was designed for SS2, but the same premise applies in all subsequent versions of InRoads/OpenRoads.

Thank you.
Gautham, remember, this End Condition finds the catch point on the existing ground and then runs backward toward the Hinge point developing standard slopes & benches that start from the catch point. That means the height of the first bench at the roadway Hinge point will vary. That was the purpose behind this End Condition. This can be seen when the EC is tested. It's currently set up for 5 benches. There are also Parametric Constraints set up to define the Slopes and Widths of the benching. And because this particular benching scenario was set up for cut slopes in rock, it is targeting a Surface called Rock.

Hi Mark,
Will you be able to share that template?
