RE: adding additional info to the terrain file causes the profile to be moved

I just ended up getting a recovery file of the terrain before it was added. This is what it originally looked like.

I ran into a similar issue in Civil 3D where a existing was linked to elements in another file. Someone did not know what these elements represented and removed them and it broke my terrain. So we started publishing terrains to a stand-alone terrain element which represented a snapshot of the terrain when it was published.

In you case, you could export the alignment to LandXML and when that is imported into a new file, it would be independent of the source terrain and profile.

It might be also possible to remove the rules using the geometry editor or using a direct tool to remove rules. I am still learning the nuances of Open Roads Geometry, so some of these suggestions may not be available or work exactly as I suggested.

But the export and import via LandXML should work. I did something similar there I used the best fit for a road, but at one end of road, the profile was on a raised median and I could not figure out how to modify the profile to manually adjust those areas. By using the LandXML approach, I had an unruled vertical that I was finally able to modify.

More information:

This New section of survey data was added (the top right chunk) behind what I currently was using and had my vertical profile in (the lower left chunk)
