I am attempting to cut cross sections and would like to add additional sections at driveways, intersections… When run the Create Cross Sections I setup the start and stop stations with interval, then go to custom and add additional stations. When I generate the sections only the custom are generated. If the custom is left out then I have the sections at the interval chosen. Is there a way to get both sets of sections to generate at one. What I end up with is two models.

This is what I have found to do but then I do not get horizontal points such as pc and pts. Does this mean I have to enter every single section I want in this custom list? Seems like some how the horizontal and vertical points should be automated somehow. Is this true that individual adding is needed for these?
I have found that if you start with non custom, you can get the station range and cardinal point cross sections created a planimetric linestrings using the create cross section tool. I believe you can have it draw only those and not actually cut cross sections. Then you can import them from graphics as a custom set, along with any driveway locations. which can even be only to one side or the other - as long as the linestring crosses the centerline.
Thanks, I will give this a try and see what I think. This project is small so at this point if have just entered them all as custom but your idea might be the ticket for a bigger project. Thanks again.
You Welcome.
