I am using Inroads Suite XM Edition. When I create my cross sections I notice that my proposed surface, in many cases, does not actually meet the existing ground surface like it should. In roadway modeler, the section views all look correct, but in the actual cross sections the end conditions sometimes end short of meeting the existing ground surface and sometimes they go beyond the existing ground surface. This applies in both fill and cut sections, with and without "rounding" option for the cut component. Again, when viewing the sections in roadway modeler, everything looks correct. The "End Condition Properties" in my template has the "End Condition is Infinite" option checked on as well. Can someone tell me how to fix this issue?
If you are not cutting cross sections at points that match template drops, then gaps can easily happen.
Also, there is a method of plotting surfaces in cross sections that only draws segments between features. I've seen it happen that the last segment of a surface is not drawn because there was no linear feature at the tie in - only random points.
