End conditions in SS2 could target a vertical alignment. Design of ditches on a highway start with generic creation based on the template. You then project you feature on the profile to create the base vertical alignment of each ditches. At that point you should be able to modify your end condition so that the target is not the existing ground but the vertical profile of the ditches.
In ORD it seems i can't target an alignment feature. The only feature definition i can target are linear.
And the Linear Vertical target basically have no options.
This doesn't make sense!
In order to design ditches on a project you need to have this in your workflow.
Once you've adjusted the profile of the ditch then you can add an horizontal control.
Any idea!
Can you not use a 'Feature Definition' as the target, horizontally and/or vertically? If the feature definition has a profile, you can get both.
Usually, when a ditch is being driven by a profile, the elevation comes from the profile, but the horizontal position may move in and out radially from the corridor, if the side slopes are fixed. The ditch bottom will slide up and down along the side slope, moving horizontally as the elevation changes. When I have done this, the ditch profiles are often a child of the road centerline.
