ORD - How do you show utility that are parallel to the center line in road profile

Hello, 

I need some guidance on how to display utilities on the roadway profile. 

the way I've done it so far is by creating a profile run of my utility. However, this only works on one specific file, and I am not able to reference this file in the sheet where I have my plan-profile sheets. 

my goal is to be able to show both utility profile and roadway profile at the same time. 

thanks in advance!

  • Jon/Marcus-

    I may be wrong here, but I think the original question was how to project a utility to a profile.  The video shows how to project a drainage profile run.  How would a user project a utility, like a watermain?

    I could see a workflow where you would project the 2d geometry or 3d linear representing this water main.  But, this would only give you a single line sting in profile.  Is there a way to project a utility that would give a "depth" (showing the top and bottom of the pipe)?

  • Marc, I have not watched this specific video, but the process would hold for utility content. The one caveat is that we will need to create a profile run from the utility links that we would like to project. This is not something we would otherwise need as we tend to model our non-gravity systems with bends that don't require notes at every direction change (horizontal or vertical).
