I am trying to clean up a project to get it out the door. Of course, the person who worked on it previously is no longer here...Yes, I am watching videos, but I haven't found the one I need, or they just haven't answered all my questions.
I have a handful of templates that all have a paved shoulder with end conditions attached to find existing ground. As I work along, I've realized that I could accomplish what I want much more easily if the shoulder were actually an end condition as well. That way, I could apply end condition exceptions and a few other controls. Is there any way to 'back" my shoulder into being an end condition? Or do I have to create all that from scratch all over again?
Or could the bulk of my issues be solved with display rules instead?
The biggest (by far) exception I will need is for there to just be "no shoulder" at all drives and road approaches. For this stage of what I am doing, I need to just show the pavement lanes, and stop when I encounter drives or roadways. I have design features in plan view for those areas, and I thought I could just do it with a style constraint. Can I do that, even if the shoulder isn't an end condition?
if I drive those style constraints with null "seek" points, do I need separate points for left and right? Sometimes I do have approaches right across the street from each other, and I'm not sure how a single seek point would trigger both sides.
And I wish, I wish, I wish I could just copy components between templates. On my own project I could have set this up with template "pieces" that I could drag into any template I want, but I didn't set this up - I'm just trying to get it working.Thank you.
You cannot change a component into an end condition, but you could use display rules (https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/w/road_and_site_design__wiki/2088/2088). If you wanted to use a style constraint (https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/w/road_and_site_design__wiki/2086/2086), you will probably have to couple that with a display rule so that the component does not show when it finds a drive or a roadway. You would want it to seek a style associated with a driveway past where the component should be placed, so that you can use a display rule. The display rule could be some sort of horizontal rule that will not display the component when it goes past a specific point.

How do I get my style Seek point to seek on only one side of my template? I have defined points for my Left and Right sides, but they both seem to be responding to ANY style trigger (no matter what side of the template it's on).
All the videos I watch show it working for a one-sided template. I need to be able to seek left and right independently, and every time I tihnk I've figured it out, it fails, which means I DON't have it figured out.

I would make sure that your points have different names. Then, only apply a style constraint to the side you want to seek the style.
