This is happening on the latest 2 versions of SS4.
In our cross sections, we are having the point ('X') disappear which compromises our ability to annotate. It is not all points in the cross section and often a cross section will display one point but not another that is using the same element template.
Not using clipping references seems to help for the most part but still having issues. Limiting use of "Transitions" between templates seems to have a similar response. We are trying to limit use of both "Clipping References" and "Transitions" as much as possible since they seem to cause these issues as well as drastically slow corridor processing down.
Is anyone else having similar issues? Any fixes or work arounds? It is not practical for our designers to have such issues when the need to annotate.
You should not be having this issue. I have heard of something similar to this once before. When the user went to his Element Template and changed the color, it displayed in his cross sections. His wasn't displaying at all, so it may be different since you say it displays on some cross sections but not others. Have you tried displaying with a cell or a different character? Have you tried referencing into a new blank dgn and running cross sections?

We tried updating the element template's color, text size, character, and etc. None of this corrected the issue. I do believe it is different because it shows on some cross sections but not all and 2 points using the same feature definition and element template don't always have the same issue. Point 1 might display and point 2 might not. We have also tried new doing it in new .dgns with all new corridors but it didn't correct the problem. So far, the biggest correlation seems to be with Corridor Clippings. If they were ever introduced into the corridor, it seems to have a element template point loss effect. On the most recent file, I deleted the only corridor clipping and all points form an associated element template came back except one, the right safety slope point. However, the left safety slope point using the same feature definition and element template was working.
That is interesting. If you post your data with a reproducible workflow I can troubleshoot a few things on my end. I would need to know the point names that aren't displaying and the cross sections that they aren't displaying on. Screenshots are very helpful.

Thank you but we have Bentley looking into it. If we get an answer, I will relay the info.
I had the same issue. We had to update the templates so that the point(s) have a feature definition.
