Question:

How do I generate an XML Report that shows the station of the baseline, but the elevations at a given offset from the baseline?

There is no report that will automatically generate this workflow, however, there is a simple workaround to accomplish this task:

Go to Geometry>Utilities>Parallel Horizontal Alignment.
Create a new alignment that is offset from the baseline. In this example, I will offset the alignment by 20ft.
Display the Horizontal Alignment as a complex linestring.
Import the linestring as a surface feature, making sure to drape the elevations on the existing surface and set the feature to "Exclude from Triangulation".
Go to Tools>XML Reports>Clearance.
On the General tab select the baseline alignment:
Select the offset feature on the Features tab:
Click Apply and the Bentley Civil Report Browser will display. The offset elevation will be reported in the Clearance.xsl report.
