Question

Where can you change the vertical exaggeration of a profile model in the OpenRoads product? There is not an option in any command settings to set this. When I go to the View Attreibutes - Civil - Exaggeration, there is a drop down menu. My Customer requiresa 6' exaggeration not 5 or 10, so how do I change this? I'm the only person running this software in my office, and I'm learing it by bentley online - so where do I find help for this?

There is a configuration variable CIVIL_EXAGGERATION_VALUES that lists the available values. Amend the variable by (1) File > Settings > Configuration > Configuration Variables or (2) edit the relevant configuration (.cfg) file in a text editor to add the value you need.

In the same configuration file, I have the following lines. Amend CIVIL_SET_DEFAULT_EXAGGERATION to set your default. 
 CIVIL_EXAGGERATION_VALUES = 1,2,5,10,20,50,100 CIVIL_SET_DEFAULT_EXAGGERATION = 10

If the variable is undefined it may not appear in dialog.
