RE: ORD 2021 R2 Template Controls - Template preview vs. modelled result

To target another proposed design you may want to try the Corridor type Point Control option. That will give you a list of points in an adjacent Corridor. Another option is to use Target Alias to target specific linear named graphics. Over the years, the "Project to Design" hasn't been all that useful for me. Maybe lack of time spent testing its use... but typically resort to things I know have worked... "if it's not broke, don't fix it" mentality. I'll also note that the Vector Offset functionality is hit and miss sometimes. Try using the = sign out to the right of a point constraint's value field to specify a slope or distance of two totally separate points in the template. This works wonders for points that tend to overlap or meet at zero. A few tips there that you can use to aid your search for "better training". Those topics should lend some additional options to things you'll need to accomplish... since there isn't really a one-size-fits-all approach.
