inserting new sections into section views question

[lohrmach]

I had about 20 cross sections that I created multiple section views for.

I added 2 cross sections (one near the beginning, one in the middle).

Can I get these new sections to insert into their proper locations (by station) with a kind of refresh of my multiple section views without having to recreate multiple section views?

I already have the section sheets lined up in viewports on layout tabs.  I want to keep everything in the same place.  If the only way I can add the new sections is to create multiple section views again, what's the best way to handle this?  Draw some kind of cross-hairs in model space when picking where to generate them and pick on the same point every time?

Yes, you can do what you're asking.

In Prospector, find your Sample Line Group, right click and go to Properties. Go to the Sections tab, pick the Sample More Sources button. Add the new sources and voila those sections magically appear in the existing cross section views.

If you're using a modern version of Civil 3D, you can just pick a Section View and pick Sample More Sources from the Ribbon.

I think you are going to need to recreate the view group. Draw a circle at a reference location on your bottom left view so you know where to move the new views to. What Tim was referring to was sampling more sources such as an additional corridor or a new surface, not creating new sample lines.

Oops. I guess I should read the entire message before responding.
