Whenever I try to open the profile view openroads crashes. (crashes when the command says select view and I click into the box to see it)
I created a profile from my horizontal alignment and then drew a new vertical over the profile. complexed the vertical and then closed the file. Opened another file that had the alignment referenced so I could draw my corridor. Decided to open my profile view since I wasn't necessarily using the active profile to create my corridor and I wanted to click on the profile in the profile view. when I went to open the profile view openroads crashed/froze. I closed the program and went back to my alignment file and went to go open my profile view and it crashed. I delete the vertical alignment and profile then create a new profile from the horizontal alignment and go to open the profile view it crashes.
I had this same problem all yesterday and then miraculously this morning after leaving my PC off all night openroads seemed to fix itself. I could open the profile view without it crashing. I drew a new vertical alignment in it and closed the file and went to my corridor file where I opened the profile view where it proceeded to crash. Went back to my alignment and it would still crash. I had a coworker try to open the profile view on his computer and it crashed.
I'm not sure why it worked this morning when it was crashing all yesterday. I did nothing different from what I'd normally do. It wasn't until I went into another file that it was referenced to and tried to open the profile view that it crashed for all my files in that workset. The 3D and cross section views work but not the profile.
So I can create a new alignment and a profile in that file and open a profile view of it. But I can't create open a profile view off the main alignment.
Hi Christian,
Try clearing your preferences, That usually resolves issues like that (unless you are using a very old version of ORD).

I deleted the preference folder and that sill didn't fix the issue. Opening the profile view still causes openroads to crash. I'm thinking that maybe the alignment is corrupted and I'll have to just recreate it. (I'm on 10.10)
I don't know if it would be a preference related problem if I have other coworkers that had the same bug while in that file. Maybe something in the workset? The issue seemed to occur in another file that had the alignment referenced. Once that file had the bug it would also appear in the original file.
Maybe try to export your geometry from the file that is crashing. Create a brand new file and import the geometry back in.
I didn't want to export my alignment and create a new brand new file since it was referenced to a few other files. I did find a "solution" that kind of worked. I unruled my alignment and recomplexed it. That seemed to work and allow me to view my profile. thought it is named something else from what it originally was. I'll have to see how that messed up my other references. But so far if I go into another file that has my referenced alignment and open the profile view it won't crash anymore.
Before "breaking" the alignment, try using the Simplify Geometry command. It will remove all external relationships, but keep any relationships built to it intact.
