Station/Offset/Elevation Report for Template Point in OpenRoads

Christopher Williams
Offline

I'm trying to create a report that gives me the Offset/Elevation of a template point at a set interval based off the stationing of the Main alignment.

Example:
I have a DITCH_CEN_LT point that defines the center of my ditch on the left side of my template. I want to create a report that will give me the Offset/Elevation of that point every 50' along the alignment used to create the corridor. IE: 1012+00, 1012+50, 1013+00, 1013+50, etc etc.

Currently I tried using the Station Offset Report tool inside of Analysis & Reporting. I select my main Alignment, I select the 2D linework created by DITCH_CEN_LT, under options I have the interval set to 50 ... but when the report spits out the info it starts at 1038+11.83 ... the first station where DITCH_CEN_LT appears (There is a different template drop before that does not include DITCH_CEN_LT).

EDIT: And as I look closer I'm realizing, it's not even spitting them out every 50 feet. It's 1038+11.83, 1038+61.50, 1039+07.96 ... I don't understand this report.

Is there away to have it spit out a report that does it starting at the station of my choosing, like a nice round number?

Thanks,
Chris Williams

    Okay, I found the solution. That's what always happens. Spend a whole day trying to figure it out. Next morning you come in and ask the community and then you find it yourself 30 minutes later.

    The Station Base Report tool under Analysis & Reporting will do exactly what I'm describing. Hope that helps anyone else having the same problem.

    Okay, not quite there but almost there.

    Using the Station Base Report tool it gives me the stations along the Main Lane, which I want, it gives me the offset to the DITCH_CEN_RT, which I want ... but it gives me the elevation of the Main Lane at that point, not the elevation of DITCH_CEN_RT (aka, my flowline).

    I tried editing the XSL file to pull the information, and I'm looking at how it defines the variables, and I looked at the report at the VERY BOTTOM of the list that is called ShowAll.xsl in order to see what information it was pulling and what I might be able to use and I hit a snag.

    It seems that since I'm using the 2D linework to do this, it's not recording any elevation information from the DITCH_CEN_RT linework. I tried to do this in a 3D view, select the Main Lane Alignment in the 2D view and then select the linework for DITCH_CEN_RT in the 3D view and two things happen.
    1) Then it does give me information for every rendered cross section, not just the defined interval of 50, which is fine.
    2) It still pulls 0.000000000 for the elevation.

    At this point I'm at a loss. Does anybody have any ideas?
