projecting profiles

[Anonymous]

Hi, all,

I've got two parallel taxiways, only in the middle of one (Taxiway A),
it jogs to the left. Let me fire up my awesome ASCII art skills to
illustrate:

A B

I have a profile of A that I want to project onto B. In other words, I
want the elevations to go straight across. Using superimposed profiles,
the stationing stays the same, and I need the diagonal portion of A to
be "squeezed" down to fit the whole thing into B.

Any idea how to do that?

Jason:

I may be reading you incorrectly but your point about the stationing staying
the same may be incorrect.
If you can draw your Line B straight (you could simulate it.) then the
offsets in A will be normal to Line B in the profile.

Jason,

Are you using the "Create Superimpose Profile..." command to make the
superimposed profile? If so, you may need to post a screen shot of what you
are seeing that you don't think is correct.

Hi Jason,

If you look closely at the superimposed profiles, I expect you will find
that is exactly what happens.

Well, I'll be a humdinger. You're right, it does just that. Thanks, all.
