Thanks for the advice Chakri. I've tried the second approach that you
outlined and all sounds logical, but I cannot seem to get the "CL" marked
point to appear within my Corridor codes. I've tried many different ways
without success including your step-by-step instructions.
This should not matter, but I am using the Metric - Generic tool palette to
select the "Mark Point" since my project is metric. I am using
LandOutsideSuper subassembly to define a two-lane travel way. This
subassembly does not include a Crown point code. I guess I could use
BasicLane, which has a Crown code included, but then I would have to define
a separate profile for each Edge of Travel Way where the pavement goes to a
superelevation condition.
Could there be a step that I'm missing to have corridor see the marked point
subassembly definition?
Thanks,
