ORD 2020 R3 - 2021 R1 Horizontal Geometry Edit Problem

Hi to all developers and community members,

As we are working on mountainous regions for wind turbine equipment transport, our horizontal geometries comprise many curves and need to be edited several times during design stage. We insert, remove or move the PI points also change radius many times on every geometry. Thus it is not applicable to draw the tangent lines first and apply arcs.

In our workflow horizontal and vertical geometry need to be edited iteratively and we need to see the corridor results instantaneously.

Up to now we tried to use simplify geometry command, tried to export and import the geometry (in every possible export format) just to reset everything, investigated the geometry objects to get any idea for the rules applied also tried to use "geometry builder editor".

Everything is alright up to any edit in table editor or before simplify geometry command. We want to preserve every other PI position during editing.

You can find the video below showing how the problematic situation occurred and what the problem was.

Thanks for your quick response guys.

As a palliative solution we will use circle objects and spaping PI point to centers.

Simplify geometry doesn't do anything even after deactivating rules.

"Insert fillet" command in modify menu stil protects the integrity of the complex element while inserting new PI but there is no remove PI command like that. If anybody knows a way of removing PI other than Table Editor, it will fix most of our problem for now.

You can use the legacy "Drop complex" tool to drop the alignment down to it's core elements... remove the segments and add single element removing the PI.  Recomplex the alignment using the create complex tool ensuring the feature name is the same as what you dropped.
