Hi All,
When creating X-sections through ORD, any points created from a template within the x-section area are annotated according to the rules in the annotation group. However, I have found that if I have any non-template (but still featurized) strings\surfaces within the X-section area they can not be automatically annotated.
Is this working as designed? Are we expected to annotate all non-template points manually? This is not ideal through areas that reqiure a lot of manual string modelling such as intersections.
Thanks
Liam
As a test, I have amended my cross section annotation group to automatically annotate feature definition 'Linear\Miscellaneous\MatchLine' - I created a line that basically sits above the corridor which gets annotated with an arrow and offset/elevation values as shown below. [The white dashed line is the 'matchline' feature.]
What annotation are you looking to add?

Thanks Mark. I suspect my problem is the use of the on_top variable as mentioned by Mark Shamoun above. I appreciate you verifying it for me.
Any response on this?
This thread was verified answered - so Erik's question has probably not been seen as it is a new question - and should be in a new thread.
Likewise, you are adding to the thread over a year later, and obviously there has been no response.
But since this thread is open again - yes, you can show crossfall between two features in cross section.
Thanks for the response, Mark. It seems the only way I could get cross slope labels to show is to, in the annotation group, filter segments by point Names and not pint Feature Definitions. Even with point names not all points are captured. Surprisingly when I clear all filters, in order to test it, and expect to see all segments get labeled, none gets any label. I have been looking for a comprehensive documentation on the use of Expressions but have had not luck so far. Any hints would be much appreciated.
Please start a new thread for this new topic - this thread is about non-template strings/surfaces.
I just did. thanks.
