Hope all is well. I am having an issue when creating 'Superelevation Lanes by Road Template' in which the command only creates the left lane. I have narrowed the problem down to the template as I tried the command with a different road template and it works. I have made sure to 'Superelevation Flag' the Centerline and Edge of Pavement on either side. Also, I checked each point to make sure I didn't have more than one 'Superelevation Flag' on either side. Any help would be appreicated. Thanks.
Are your PC assignments correct? When you calculated SE, what pivot method did you select?

Justin,
Thanks for reaching out! After a few painful hours I finally discovered the issue. The template's origin was offset 0.010 to the left and for that reason the R_EOP coordinate was less than 12 at 11.990 whereas the L_EOP was at 12.010. Although the R_EOP was indeed constrained 12ft horizontally from the CL, I assume the software did not like that. The fix consisted of clicking on the CL point and selecting the reset origin command.
Best, Dylan
I have on occasion found a need to use a point control to tie a template point to the alignment that would usually be automatically attached to the centerline point of the template. This gives you even more flexibility than simply always having the origin of the template applied to the centerline alignment.
