Roadway Designer Profile Elevation not matching what was stored in the GPK File

An issue came in today that I think will benefit the community to see troubleshooting techniques as we work toward a resolution.

I am working on a 4 lane divided highway in corridor modeler/roadway designer. I have both widen and overlay as well as reconstruction sections of roadway. At one of the transitions from w&o to reconstruction, I start a design profile for the reconstruction section (which begins at existing ground), but the Roadway Designer's profile elevation at this transition point doesn't match the profile elevation I have stored in geopak. The result is the reconstruction roadway section in the corridor model (on one side of the interstate) being approx. 1' higher than the existing interstate elevation I am tying into. I am using superelevation and vertical/horizontal point controls. i have moved this transition point to a slightly different station and that seems to fix it. basically, I've run out of ideas to make the original station work for my model.

  • [GPK SS2] I just experienced this same problem. I have a Roadway Designer model with a point control to control the DIT_L elevation. However this elevation doesn't match my gpk profile. I've imported it several times, rebuilt the point control, checked the xml file of imported geometry. Everything checks out, but the modeler doesn't match. My point control doesn't introduce any additional vertical offset to the gpk profile. The model profile is consistently higher than the gpk profile by 0.231'. This template has been successfully used many other times.

    I am at a loss. Was a solution found to this problem back in 2013?
