I can't seem to get proposed cross section elements to draw on my existing ground cross sections. I run the process and it works through the cross sections but draws nothing. Any solutions? A colleague in another office was able to do it, so I am assuming I have a setup problem.
Check out the following wiki article and see if any of the troubleshooting techniques help.

Beebe: Your article you linked is helpul for another issue I've had in the past but doesn't address the issue I'm currently having and what I believe jthdr was talking about. The existing ground XS run perfectly fine with the existing tin. They are produced as expected. However when I do the same process with the proposed dtm instead, geopak processes through the XS as expected but no proposed elements actually show up. If I use the proposed tin instead of dtm the proposed linework shows up. Unfortunately nothing shows up for the dtm. I've had no luck finding a solution. Thank you!
maybe you can post your dataset for us to look at. You would want to include all files necessary to reproduce the issue.
What files would you need? TIN, DTM, gpk, chain and profile input files?? Let me know and I'll see if I can get them to you. How would I get them to you?
TIN, DTM, IRD, RDP, ALG, GPK, DGN, the entire rddbs folder, XIN,
If I am not mistaken I think this can happen when a user accesses the draw cross section from surfaces tool outside of the Corridor Modeler Dialog. You must have Corridor Modeler Dialog opened and the current project preferences loaded, then use the icon on that Dialog only. I am not for sure if this is your problem, but it is a requirement you must follow.
Thanks

Chuck,
I am having the same issue. Launched Draw Cross Sections from Surfaces as suggested and still no change.
Hmmm, would need to see the data to investigate further. Have you logged a ticket? We will need to likely setup a meeting to look at the problem in your environment. Usually when this happens, it can't find the DTM for some reason when it proceeds to cut the sections.
Just an update on this. The user was trying to cut cross sections along an alignment that was different then what the Corridor was created along within Roadway Designer. It is okay to do that, but you are required to import that new alignment within Corridor Modeler first.
