Hello, when I reprocess my corridor, the superelevation definition disappears. I've defined my superelevation in other file, then I've referenced it into my model file and I've assigned to my corridor. So far everything is correct, but when I reprocess the corridor the superelevation definition disappears. I've detached the file with superelevation definition and attached again but there's no way to define the corridor with superelevation again.
I attach two screenshots, one before reprocessing wtih xsections with correct superelevation,
and other one after with xsections without superelevation.
Does anybody experienced something like this?
Thanks!
Hi Carlos, is it the case that you redefined your alignment, or did corridor reattach? If so, your SE definition could be linked to the old alignment and hence no longer work for the corridor that has new baseline. Usually that was the reason when I come across this problem. Hope it helps.
Thanks Kzrysztof. This is not the case, I haven't redefined my alignment, I've saved my original file with other name and when I reprocess the corridor on the new file, the SE dissapears.
check your SE section properties - does it contain horizontal name or it's blank?
Hi Krzysztof, I've solved the issue creating the SE in the same model file. The problem is that I've defined the SE in a reference file as is recomended in one of the courses of learning path, and this is only valid if you work always in the same file, if you save the file with another name, then the superelevation definition dissapears corridor is reprocessed.
IT'S RECOMENDED TO CREATE THE SE IN THE SAME MODEL FILE.
Thanks again for you comments Krzysztof

This is not necessarily true. The recommendation is to create a separate superelevation file and should work as intended. Some common issues with superelevation detaching from the corridor are:
