Linear Feature Lines Between Template Drops

I know there is a lot going on in this picture, but is there any way to prevent/stop linear feature lines from automatically connecting to the next template drop (cyan jog in EOP)?

  • OpenRoads (and InRoads) will automatically connect points from one template to another based on point names. So as MaryB suggests, the easiest way to prevent that from happening is to rename one of the points in one of the templates. In my opinion, this isn't the best way because it could cause unwanted issues elsewhere in a corridor where you DO want the points connected from one template to another.
    Another option is to create a Transition area between those 2 template drops and then use the Transition Editor (select the new transition graphics and pick the tool from the fly-out menu) and delete the "white lines" you don't want (aka-the breaklines) connecting the points from one template to the other template that you don't want to be created.

    Hope this helps
