I am using OpenRoads Designer CE 2021 Release 1 for an urban roadway project that utilizes a lot of custom Civil Cells for driveways. Today I deleted one of the driveway Civil Cells and replaced it by using new reference graphics. Everything seemed to work out okay until I tried adjusting the width of the driveway. I noticed that the cell seemed to be following a jagged vertical alignment along the roadway gutterline reference. I did a little troubleshooting and found that the profile along the gutterline, which is based on a 2% slope from my baseline geometry, was not smooth. I checked the profile along my roadway baseline and it was smooth so it didn’t make any sense why the gutterline profile, which is relative to the baseline profile, was not smooth. I investigated further by doing a partial offset of the baseline by 10’ and then setting the profile along this temporary geometry element using the “Profile by Slope from Element” command and using the baseline profile for a reference. Once again, I ended up with a jagged profile as shown in the attached image.
Out of curiosity I had one of the other engineers in the office, also using OpenRoads Designer CE 2021 Release 1, open the same file and try the exact same trouble shooting. He ended up with a nice smooth profile along the temporary geometry element. The only difference I can determine is we tried this on two different computers. I have not had this issue in the previous versions of OpenRoads using this same DGN file. Any ideas?
Unfortunately not

Just asking, but does this priority build also fix the bug with the XS annotations?
I was contacted by Technical Support last night and was told that, after further research into the issue, they determined there is a priority build to fix the problem I have been having. I downloaded and installed the build and it seems to work. I appreciate the perseverance of the Technical Support staff and everyone else who helped me out.
I have a lot of files that this could potentially affect and will have to consider if it's worth it. I appreciate the suggestion. I might just try to limp along and use one of the workstations in the office that doesn't seem to have this issue. Not ideal but I don't know if I really have any other options at this point.
Do you have the option to "demote" your design to 2020R3? I believe 2021R1 allows you to have both versions on your computer.
