I get strange results sometimes when using Profile by slope / variable slope / vertical offset where the result has kinks in it. Infact I avoid vertical offset because I usually end up with this result.
The recent example is linear variable slope which references a centreline and projects onto a channel which gradually moves away from the centreline (i.e. not parallel).
Is there something I'm missing? Best practice? Or are these tools just temperamental. I sometimes get the same result with Project Profile to Element if I choose All points but this is resolved by choosing Vertices instead.
Hi Ken,
What version are you using?
Regards,
Mark
OpenRoads Designer 2022 R3 (10.12) | Microstation 2023 | ProjectWise CE 3.4
2021 Release 1 - update 10 - Version 10.10.01.03.
ok i bet you are having this issue here:
Jagged profile on new geometry element when using "Profile by Slope from Element” and other projection tools - OpenRoads | OpenSite Forum - OpenRoads | OpenSite - Bentley Communities
You will either need to request the priority build of this version or upgrade to 2021 R2 or newer unfortunately...

Installed 2022 release 1 and initial results confirm it was an issue with the version I was using.
I'm on 2021 R2 (what the project was done in) and there's still an issue with profile elements not extending their full defined length when projected from an alignment, so that first and last points have no levels; or where a linear profile from element (say from +7% to -2% up to Ch 50) then a constant profile from element (-2% from Ch 50 onward) don't meet, either horizontally or vertically.
Has this been resolved in later versions?
Hi Euan, this sounds like a different issue. I'm not sure if ive experienced this before, do you have an example?
