Hi,
been walking through the vertical geometry workshop and have some questions. Might be best to make multiple posts so as not to introduce confusion between questions.
I create a "complex element" best fit profile. Is there a setting that tells the tool "add VC to changes of grade grater than X.X %"?
The profile isnt what I want, so I'd like to be able to edit it.
How do I insert a VC into it? At one location, there is a 2% change of grade that doesnt have a VC.. so I want to insert a VC at that location. How do I do that?
Now, to complicate it a little more, there is a VC close by, so the VC I wish to insert may overlap with the existing VC thats there... but thats a complication. Working out how to add a VC to one of these profiles is the first step.
Thanks,
I've checked two things in my last reply:
- when create profile curve between elements and use the unexploded complex elements, there is no trimming. It just makes a new curve sitting by itself.
- I also confirmed the oddity where you must pick tangent first when making a curve between a tangent and a curve. I've passed this to Civil PM and certification for investigation in future versions. In current SS3, just remeber that you'll need to pick the tangent first in thes situations.

Hi Gents,
The profile curve between elements will work on a complex element if you select to trim both in the tool settings window before completing the curve creation.

FYI - I've experienced the same results with a vertical, or was it horizontal... alignment not trimming as instructed. However my workaround was to drill down into element information and setting the trim settings after the fact.
