I'm having an issue with overlay components displayed in cross section. The component works as it should in the roadway designer, projecting to the surface at a depth of half an inch. However when I display the generated surface components in cross-sections, the overlay components do not show as being projected to the surface.
Has anyone else run into this issue? Attached is a screen shot of what I'm experiencing.
Thanks in advance for your help.
A defect has been filed for this issue: Defect 131107.

I agree it sounds like a bug. In a similar case I used overlay component points projected to the existing (Active) surface. Whether or not I had the box for "Add Transverse Features" checked in the Create Surface tool, transverse features were created based on the existing surface and not the overlay component points for the duration of the template drops. After reading the advice to "Include Null Points" when creating the surface, I found another fix. In the template creation, use null points for the horizontal and project to surface locations. Use the overlay component points constrained at distance 0' horizontally and vertically (or whatever offset you choose) to the appropriate null points. When creating the surface, there is no need to check the "Include Null Points" box for creating the correct surface with correct transverse features.
This sounds like a bug. There is no reason that I can think of that would cause the null point features to cause a change in the behaviour of the overlay components. PLease file a support ticket so we can keep track of/fix the issue
Thanks
