[ORD 2021 R2] Vertical Point Control not working on Linear Template

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.

  • From my experience, the biggest issue with point controls not working is a circular dependency between the geometry of the point control and the corridor/LT.  This usually comes from a snap rule being applied to a corridor object (projected geometry in profile).  Check to see if you have any snap rules on your geometry and if so, remove them.

    On a side note, the very first thing I do when opening the program is disable the persist snaps command.  Snap rules, IMO, cause more issues than they solve.
