Sampled surface profile doesnt update when alignment moves

[b.stark]

I have a rather large project that is having a problem I am badly hoping someone can help me with. It is 27 miles of waterline broken into 3 mile segments.

The problem is with the profiles that have been cut. The existing ground surface has been sampled along the alignment and multiple profile view made from that alignment. When the alignment changes, the only way that the surface seems to update is to run the "profiles; create profiles from surface command again" at which point it adds a new profile into the profile views reflecting the current surface over the alignment, then the "old" profile must be deleted from the profile views. Everything is set to dynamic, yet certainly is not being very dynamic.

A little more information would be helpful.

What version of Civil 3D are you using?

Are any of your C3D objects data referenced?

[b.stark]

It is civil 3d 2013.

The surface and the alignment are data referenced into the drawing containing the profile views.

[Lisa_Pohlmeyer]

So, you're saying that when the alignment object is modified and that drawing is saved, the drawing that your profile is in doesn't display a balloon notification that your objects need to be synchronized? (Your data reference has changed?)  I don't experience that behavior in 2012 or 2014, so perhaps it's a 2013 related issue or your specific dwg. 

I'm assuming you've processed the drawing for audit & regapps, etc.

[b.stark]

Not exactly, I am saying that even after you syncronize the data reference, the surface shown in the profile view does not update based on the alignment change, almost like it is a static profile instead of dynamic although it is set to be dynamic.

Yes, drawing had been audited, purged, reg apps and all that.

Same problem here using c3d 2013. No answer yet?

Same problem in 2017 here. 

My supervisor inadvertently moved the ex ground surface. I got it back to its original location, but the profile views will not update after the surface was moved to the correct spot. I went through the whole set of commands to add the ex ground profile to my profile view to make sure it came in how I expected, and it did, but the old surface profile from the wrong location is still showing up unless I manually delete it.
