Hi,
I have created an alignment and longsection and overlayed my assembly to produce the corridor through my alignment. However it is standard practice in the UK to show the channel levels on a longsection. Can this be done?
Thanks
Why not extract featurelines from the corridor and project those onto the profile? They would be dynamic.
Hi,
I followed what you have said in order to generate my channel lines on section, but I still need to push this through into 2 separate bands. One for the left hand channel levels, and one for the right hand channel levels.
What is the best way to do this?
Thanks,
Sam
Given you'll have a top surface for the corridor, I've always created offset alignments, generated profiles for those through the Top surface and projected those profiles on the main long section. Dynamic, but loses geometry so it's levels at your defined intervals only. Can have issues around tight curves where it can zig-zag up the face of the kerb.
You don't need 2 bands either, you can use a single band with Left and Right channel levels fixed to the top and bottom respectively, use Profile 1 as the left channel and Profile 2 as the right. Saves space.
It is a functionality that C3D needs, to be honest. Virtually every road job I've worked for demands channel levels on a single profile view.

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the response. I'm a little surprised that there no feature for showing/generating channel levels easily. I'm actually leaning towards just doing it by hand as I'm just not that comfortable with the work around I have been exploring.
