Key Station

Question

Hi, 
 I am new to openroads desginer. I have been working with Inroads SS10 and SS2 earlier. 
 A variation i noticed in ORD , point control start and end chainages do not add additional drop points to the corridor. Key stations have to be added. 
 I am stuck with Linear template. There is no option to add additional point / Key stations. Due to template not dropped at the point control start end locations the model does not look complete. Gaps are formed. 
 How do i add key stations to Linear template or add Event point to the alignment. 
 I am using Openroads 2020 release 2 
 Thanks in advance.

While not ideal, I have found a trick to add "Key Stations" to linear templates without the regular tool. If you add a parametric constraint to one of your constraints that you know you don't need to change, you can force the template to process at the begin and end station of that parametric constraint. For example, if your sidewalk is constantly 5' wide within a station range and you want to add a "Key Station", you can begin a parametric constraint for your sidewalk width (set at 5' so nothing actually changes) at the station you wish to add a "Key Station" to, and whatever you set as the end station will also get processed at that station. Hope this helps!

Try adjusting the Stroking Definition values of the element the linear template is dropped on. It may impact processing depending on the length and quantity you edit, but could help some places.
