Vertical Profile Does Not Complete

The horizontal geometry, are all the straights connected at the corners?

When doing something similar with ponds, I found vertical design, corridors and linear templates would not close correctly and meant I was missing the quadrant.

To get rid of this I started a straight half way along where I wanted a full straight. Then completed the shape and returned with the other half of the original straight. Making sure that the bearing is the same as my first straight.

Once complexed everything worked as expected.

I ended up doing just that in order to simply get a solution. Thanks, Mark S.! I am still perturbed as to why the element was doing that in the first place. I can't find the root cause. I recreated the pad from which I referenced to create the profile and the vertical profile of the grading still has that piece missing, albeit in a different location along the profile. Very strange. Thanks again for your comment.

Brian - just an observation. Why not just draw a simple CAD block, and then apply an elevation to that? That would save you the 'Complex Geometry' step.

Hey Mark, thanks for the comment. I hadn't enabled that, but I just did and it oddly remains the same (that small break in the profile on the upper left corner of the surface). I'm going to delete it and start over to see if I did something wrong in the original horizontal creation. Thanks again!

Hi Brian,

Does it still happen if you enable the "Slope Relative to Target" poperty of the profile?
