In InRoads SS2, In a template, I could set a style constraint for a point to be horizontal, vertical, or both. In ORD I am only seeing the option to set a Horizontal Feature Constraint. What happened to the vertical option?
In Ss3 and newer, Vertical elements inherit their styles from their horizontal element so it was removed.I think I learned that one one of the training videos.

Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are saying. In 8.2, you could have a style constraint target a horizontal feature or alignment based on the style. This would act like a point control and adjust the offset or elevation of a corridor feature. In ORD, I am only seeing a way to control the offset of the corridor feature when I use the feature constraint. It feels like there is no way to have a feature constraint target the elevation of the feature.
Mike,
ORD doesn't have the style constraints options for vertical or both as you're used to seeing in InRoads SS2, however, you should still have the same control capabilities by modifying the components end condition properties. In the screen shot below "Feature Definition Both" is an option for the target type. Is that what you're looking for?
In attached video there's a pretty good explanation around the 9:40 mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThxIodZZ9lg

Marcus, I'm not sure where Mike was trying to apply that Constraint, but your suggestion will only work if it's on an EC, and not on a 'backbone' point.
I was trying to set it in my backbone. I would like to know if this feature is planned to be added back into the software, or if I have to go back to point controls to handle it.
Any input from Bentley on this would be helpful. We are developing task based workflows for users coming from SS2 to ORD and it would be helpful to know if/why the functionality was removed. Maybe there is a better way to handle it now.
