Tangent Line created when Importing from PowerGeopak

I have created an overpass profile in PowerGeopak SS4 V08.11.09.904(Figure 1) but encountered an issue when trying to import it in Openroads Designer V10.06.00.38(Figure 3). When imported in Openroads Designer, it create a tangent line from PI of Sag Curve to PI of Crest Curve which resultPDF in Kink when creating a corridor model(Figure 3).

  • Thank you. I can confirm the problem. I will file it as a defect. I did export the chain and profile from cogo as landxml and that imported fine. try it
