Hello,
I have a divided highway in two different corridors (east bound/west bound). I have a median ditch in the center. I would like to somehow find the intersecting points of both slopes to create my ditch. I have created two separate models and used target aliasing in one corridor to show me the slope of the other corridor as shown in the pic below. Is there any way Geopak can find the intersectios of the two slopes?
If you are looking for Ss4/10 workflows in any Civil Platform, the Corridor tools are identical. We took a MoDOT workset for corridor migration from Ss2 to Ss4/10 that was developed in GEOPAK and used it in InRoads. You can generally use alg and dtm files from InRoads in any platform as part of the tools in Ss2/4/10.

Quite interested myself here.
Do you know if there is a way to solve this situation with Geopak SS4? What about OpenRoads Designer?
Thanks.
If the two corridors are not perfectly parallel, the slope for one will be correct, but the other will be skewed. Also, it is also possible that the resulting slopes will not retain their original triangulation resulting in triangles that cross multiple template drops and often the resulting slope is different than if the triangles formed along each template drop. When this happens, adding longitudinal breaklines will force the correct triangulation.
Thanks CADDCOP, I went through the material and it somewhat worked. In target aliasing I brought in both my corridor and proposed surface. It will not target the corridor but did target the surface. The only problem is, is when the proposed surface came in, the top of pavement looked correct but the slope was not a perfect 1:4 like in my template or in my corridor. So I don't know why it is not a perfect 1:4. I also tried Daniels suggestion with no success. Can someone from Bentley chime in? Thanks for the help everybody.
