Is anyone having issues with complex redefine not working for certain alignments? I need to replace a tangent section with two sets of reverse curves at each end of the new segment. The arcs were drawn per tutorial videos, tangent and all. The complex redefine won't work, it keeps the original tangent section along with the new segment. Should I be looking at the alignment settings for the original line in the explorer window?
Given that ORD doesn't have alignment editing commands that InRoads has, it's critical for redefine to function.
With the complex redefine tool I find it works better if you pick the base elements rather than the complex elements. The base elements would be the ones that you placed to build the complex. These are the "ghosted" graphics that you can select if you hover over the trimmed portion of the element; or, the non-visible parts of the interval elements.
Also, you can not select a dependent element as something as a base for the redefine. The redefining elements must be either fixed elements (two point lines or 3 point arcs, or floating elements dependent on some other element for this tool to work. This may require you to go back further in the alignment that originally expected.
Thanks for the pointers Marc. I'll keep them in mind next time i'm using the tool
