  • Re: Pwer Civil: Vertical Alignment Component tool

    Hi Neil, the existing surface profile is (in some places) beyond the range of the profile cell. I'd suggest that when you try and select the second vertical component - it is also outside the Profile Cell extent and it will not be found…
  • Re: Pwer Civil: Vertical Alignment Component tool

    Hi again, The cell is created based on the Chain. The Chain has no vertical information. The surfaces are added after the cell is created - which is why we cannot auto populate the vertical details. We use the same tools within the Modeler…

  • Re: Pwer Civil: Vertical Alignment Component tool

    Hi neil, you may have misunderstood what I was refering to whne I said "range". I was refering to the vertical extents of the profile cell. The DGN you sent had the majority of the existing surface profile above the top of the profile cell…
