I am probably oversimplifying this, but couldn't you just create an end condition with an 'Elevation' target set to 100 and run the end condition as a linear template along the element from your team member accomplish what you're after?

Thank you for your advice Holly, I will test this out. Do you know if there is any way to apply the create point control command outside of using a template? We're in the midst of transitioning from InRoads to OpenRoads and the comfort level with use of templates just isn't there yet as a firm.

I really appreciate your help.

Grady,

I would think there would be a few ways you can do this. Here's one way....

Place a Linear Template on the edge of sidewalk/shoulder. This template should be an end condition with none of the End Condition Properties checked on for the points. Have it constrained with the 3:1 slope and any valued vertical constraint. Then, use the Create Point Control command to place a Vertical point control on the bottom point with Elevation and Grade. The Grade would be 0 and the Elevation 100. This will maintain the slope constraint and move the vertical constraint to keep it at the 100 value.
