2013 bug - corridor feature lines

I have a road corridor with feature lines connecting the road edges (cyan), ditchline (dark green), daylight_cut (yellow), daylight_fill (green) and daylight (white).  At certain random locations along this corridor I am getting feature lines which span from one station to another, ignoring all of the corridor sections in between.  The image below shows a daylight_fill line spanning over 60m, even though there is a daylight line through this region.

In this area a ditch line and a daylight_cut start at 4+110, skip over the next cut section at 4+120 and jump over a hundred meters to the next piece of ditch at 4+280

This corridor builds clean - no error messages reported.  Is anybody else seeing this behaviour?

Can you post the dwg? or a sample dwg?

Not on a public board Dana, but PM me and I'll arrange to get it to you somehow.

Can you make it fail in a tutorial or sample dwg?

 

You can email me the dwg if you like and I can see if I can get it looked at. First dot last at youknowwhere.com

In the Feature Lines tab of corridor properties...Does Branching Inward or Outward make a difference?

I know that you have probably checked this... but just looking at your screen capture, I have to ask.

 

Is there a corridor surface in your dwg with the border only display on?

Steve,

 

To answer your previous question...Yes, I saw this a few times...branching outward solved it for me a couple times.

 

Good luck.

No surface Dana.  The green lines are Daylight_Fill feature lines, the yellow ones are Daylight_Cut, and the white ones are Daylight codes.  The darker green ones parallel to the Daylight_Cut  are the Ditch codes.

Steve,

 

Was the assembly built in 2013?...have had problems mixing subassemblies from different versions of software.

The assembly was imported from a 2012 file, but I've recreated the whole thing from scratch using 2013 subs - no effect.

While adding the new 2013 subs to a new assembly I did notice that the 2012 version uses a different parameter list than the 2013 sub.  It doesn't solve the problem but does suggest that bringing old assemblies forward to 2013 should not be recommended.Clipboard01.png

Steve,

 

I have been struggling with the same problem for the past couple of weeks. The solution I found is to split my corridor into smaller regions where the rogue feature lines are happening.

I opened the "Creating Multiple Section Views.dwg" from the book Mastering civil3d 2012 using Civil 3D 2013 and the same thing happened, feature lines cross through ignoring multiple sections. I think it may be a graphics (visual) thing, The surface created from it seems normal. Also, changing the frequency will make it change or disappear.

If the corridor surface is built from links only then the crossing feature lines aren't a problem, but if they are used either as part of the surface definition or the boundary then it goes fubar.
