Custom SAC shape not following elevation target

Basically, I am looking to get L12 (see attached) to follow a profile to transition from -6:1 to -25:1, but am not getting good results yet.  All shapes need to stay in tact for quantities, and I will daylight from the SG HP out using the same slope as L12.

 

I have been reading articles from a couple of great sources, Matt Kolberg and Steve Boon's "Transition a Corridor Daylight Slope", but no luck.  Peter Funk has a tranistion tool that looks amazing, but I have no clue what it is when I start to disect it.

 

Any suggestions are helpful, and appreciate everyone's time.  My background is 4 solid months of using C3D for large corridors and sites, but I'm still green.  Hoping to avoid going back to my old software (which I could knock out in a couple of minutes), and sticking and learning with C3D.

 

Thanks,

Garrett

 

Forum, will not allow me to post pkt file.  I have tried to zip the originial file...also tried renaming pkt to a zip.

Nothing was attached, so I can't answer your specific question. 

 

There is a taper width example in the Mastering AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 book, Chapter 9, page 420-424 which isn't exactly the same as what you are looking for but may help you see how to change a value based on where you are in a region by using a API Function in Subassembly Composer.

Thanks Kati,  I have that book and will check that out.

 

As far as uploading my file, I get an error message, "The contents of the attachment doesn't match its file type."

Try putting your file IN a zip file instead of renaming it (you're right, that's how we usually do it though).
