Our current workflow is to show utility and drainage features that fall between stations on station ahead or back cross section depending on the station the feature actually exists at. For example, On a set of cross sections at 50 foot interval, a projected utility or drainage feature at station 10+26, it would appear on cross section 10+50, or if it crossed at station 10+18, it would appear on cross section 10+00.
I've looked all around in ORD and can't seem to find anything similar to that. In the previous versions, it was called Bandwidth under Cross Sections-->Update Cross Sections-->Projected Features. There we could define a Bandwidth window so many feet ahead and back.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Charles
You can do this in ORD by selecting your Cross Section Named Boundaries and setting a Distance forward and/or backwards in the properties.
Then navigate to the Drawing model using this Named Boundary, go to its 3d reference and toggle on Forwards and/or Backwards in the Presentation settings.
A manual process, but you may be able to set these up as Sheet Seeds to have it automatically create this way.

On thing to note is that it will "look" at everything forwards and/or backwards including your road, etc. So could get a bit messy. It may be as close as you can get to this functionality in ORD for now.
Thanks Mark, I see exactly what you mean. Definitely shows everything within that window including the pavement, etc.. Yeah, that's not going to cut it.
Thanks for the reply
