Opens roads question? I have a model where the proposed contours do not match into the existing contours and was wondering if this happens all the time? Can this be fixed, if so how? See image below.
Generally, this occurs when the template drops are too far apart and only tie in at each actual drop and the areas between drops are straight line connections as opposed to interpolations. You can add Key Stations manually to try and address this or increase template drops. if you increase template drops, you might want extra design stages to add multipliers to the drop distances while working on corridors, as tight drops increase processing times.
