Area:	Horizontal Geometry

Question:

I have an existing complex alignment that I need to redefine over a certain range, substituting in new horizontal geometry. How can I do this yet preserve all rules built off the original geometry? (i.e., other geometry, superelevation, civil cells, etc)

Answer:

The Complex Redefine command located in the Horizontal Geometry tools will accomplish this.

Notes:

The command allows an existing complex alignment to be partially redefined over a range, substituting in a new horizontal geometry.
The command reserves the original feature name, allowing all rules built off the original geometry to update.
The command affects all rules relating to the alignment (Other geometry, superelevation, corridors, terrains, civil cells, etc. will reprocess to accept the revision.)
Vertical geometry from the original alignment is preserved and carried forward to the newly formed alignment.
Segment(s) from the original alignment that are replaced are retained in the model and are allocated a new name.
Rules over reference files will need to be opened to initiate the update.

	Version(s):	08.11.09.674
	Area:	Cross Sections
	Original Author:	Jacquelyn Pettus, Bentley Technical Support Group

Question:

Annotate Cross Section - How to display only the slopes that are greater than zero?

Answer:

On the General tab of the Annotate Cross Section leaf, toggle OFF slope and toggle ON Alternate Slope. Check "Display Absolute Slopes" and set the "Use Alternate Slope is Slope Exceeds" to something very small such as 0.001%.
