Draw Cross Section from Surface - Missing Lines

Not a good day for me and Roadway Designer...

I created a model from Corridor Modeler and created a DTM from it. When I use the "Draw Cross Sections from Surface" tool, for some reason it doesn't draw a certain line. This line happens to be the back slope after a paved side ditch. The odd thing is that point label is drawn where that line would connect to the existing ground, but it just isn't drawing the line. The back slope line is drawn on the section before and after without any issues and the station is a nice even station.

Any ideas what is happening with this? I have had a similar issue on a much longer job several months ago, but I just worked around it due to time constraints. That was with an older version of Windows, MS, and GPK.

My current versions are as follows: MS - v8.11.09.397, Geopak - v8.11.07.536, Windows 7 SP1

Thanks.

Can you tell me what the fix was? I'm having the exact same issue. Thanks

are they in one zip file or did you load many files? Please send the file names so that we can grab the right files.

It is hard to tell exactly but seems like there is an extensive amount of clipping going on here. That may be the issue. Also do the pattern lines completely cut across all the components of the DTM. My guess though is the clipping.

4.) Is the component clipped by another corridor? If a component is being clipped by another corridor, it may display clipped in the 3D view when the Create Surface command is initially run, but it will not be displayed in any cross sections, or by any other command that will display components.

There also seems to be an issue with your existing ground as I can not even display it without crashing.

Okay, thanks for looking at it. I also thought it might have something to do with the clipping, but I'm not sure how to fix that. I've tried changing clipping options to all the different options (All, None, End conditions only) and it doesn't change how the sections look when I cut them from the DTM. I'm also curious as to why I see the full sections when I cut them off the mainline, but not when I cut them along the sideroads? I know the existing tin file is a large file, but I've never had any issues cutting existing ground. I'll continue to troubleshoot and try and figure out what's wrong.
