Transition problems

Question

Hi, 
 I am trying to do a transition between 2 templates and my problem is that the cut is not done correctly along the transition. Also a small area has its feature definition changed. Also I don't understand why I am editing the transition some points are connected in such way that is doesn't make any sense. The points that define my components are named differently for each template. Thank you for your help.

To answer your question: "Do all points need to be mapped?" That is up to your design intent. If you do not map the points, then they will begin/end abruptly at the start/end of the specified template. This is demonstrated around time 1:30 in the first video I posted, "Create Transition in Corridor." She has two points in her second template that are not mapped. Notice how they begin abruptly.

Would you provide more screen shots, and arrows pointing directly to the problem? Also, a screenshot of the transition window. It will be hard to nail down exactly what is happening without your itl.

Hi Andrei, 
 I believe from previous posts that you are using SS4. I suggest taking a look at these two wiki videos that go over template transitions:

 You may need to manually change how the points are mapped between the first and second template. If there are transitions that are generated wrong, then delete that point connection and correct it. Then make sure that you have deleted all the proper constraints. If you upload your data through the Advanced Reply Editor, I can take a look at the transition for you.

After you map the points, make sure to check what constraints you need and then delete the rest. I find this a good way to control the slopes transitions.
