GEOPAK Site Modeler Question

I am working on a site that has a detention pond with a berm on the low end. Outside of this berm is a path defined by an alignment and profile. All of these elements are part of a single object. The problem I have is that both the berm and the path are tying down to the existing ground between them. I would like the berm to slope straight toward the path without a "V" created in between them. See the attached picture. The pond berm is shown in orange, and the path is shown with the alignment running along the west edge of the path. The heavy green line is where the profile is cut.

Thank you,

    If all the elements in both the path and the pond are in the same object then they should triangulate between themselves and not slope down unless the are sloping to an element between the pond and the road...

     If you want you can send me the dgn and gsf to have a look.

  • Josh,

     

    there's a couple of things that could help.

    1) Set the Project Max Triangle length to something larger... that should force the Object triangles between the elements that are adjacent. Measure the max distance between the elements (where u want to see a straight grade between them) and make the max triangle length a little longer than that.

    2) Add some elements at the ends between the Berm and Path and drape them onto the Object by vertices. That will foce triangulation between the two elements. This is probably the better method to sove this issue as the Max Triangle Length effects more than just this one Object and may cause undesirable results else where.
