I have a corridor that models a shoulder and ditch around the outside of a cul-de-sac. The corridor is made up of a linear template attached to an EOP linear feature with an active profile. I have a couple of Parametric Constrains that work as they should. I also designed two special ditch profiles (stored in the geometry file, but designed on the Bulb_EOP alignment, not on the ditch element itself.) I believe I added the point controls correctly to modify the ditch elevation in the corridor, but the dynamic XS viewer doesn't reflect the modified ditch profile. It looks like the point control is not being used. What am I missing? I have successfully used this template with other corridors. (The pavement surface is modeled in a different corridor.)
DitProN is for a ditch segment at the north side of the bulb, and DitProS is for a ditch segment at the south side of the bulb. These can be seen as the two heavy red profiles in View 5 (the profile view). View 7 shows that the special ditch profile point control is not being applied.
I'm not getting any follow-up help from Support so I thought I would post here.
You should have a purple box around the point in your dynamic XS view. We recently ran into significant issues with point controls just flat out not working. The solution was to remove any potentially conflicting horizontal feature constraints/external references. It meant creating a number of additional horizontal point controls but ultimately it worked.
It's frustrating that this aspect of modeling has really seemed to handcuff us in ORD, which used to work in SS10. I don't understand why we took a step back...
