I am attempting to cut cross sections at a 50' interval but also have specific cross sections cut at driveways, so I set Key Stations at every drive and one intersection. But when I run the create cross sections command, it cuts all my cross sections at a 50' interval and ignores my Key Stations or I can get it to only cut my Key Stations in the Custom folder. Is there really no way to have Open Roads read my Key Stations automatically?

Thank you
Holly,
Once I run cross sections thru the Create Cross section dialog box and they are placed in a model are those cross sections then independent of the corridor, alignment, and profile? I would have thought that once I run them that I could then go modify my corridor or profile and have them update in the model automatically. But so far each time I have made changes to my corridor or alignment I have had to re-run the cross sections again to get the modifications to show up. Is this something that will change in a future update or am I missing a step?
The cross sections are not tied to the design model for SS4. There is a Dynamic Cross Section view in SS4 that allows you to dynamically see changes from the design model. However, if you cut cross sections, makes changes in your design, you will have to recreate the cross sections. Which is why saving off the custom cross sections is import. OpenRoads Designer has dynamic plan/profile/cross-section sheets. So if you make a change in your design it will be reflected in your sheets, and you no longer have to recreate them.
