    ElevationAt method along asym vc

    The ElevationAt method for aeccprofiles seems to be giving incorrect
    elevations along an aysmmetric vertical curve.

    Thanks,

    Drew,

    Hoping for more detail... what is the configuration of the curve (sag,
    crest, grade in/out and lengths 1 & 2) ? Also, what formulas/calculations
    are you using to verify the elevations?

    thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Michael:

    The configuration doesn't really matter. I got inaccurate elevations for the
    following 3 configurations:
    crest, 75', 100', 1.76%, -1.55%
    sag, 150', 125', -1.55%, 0.61%
    crest, 200', 100', 0.61%, -0.84%

    I compared the ElevationAt values with the low point and high point
    elevations listed in Profiles => Edit Profile... => Select PVI. They don't
    match. So either one or both is/are wrong. My guess is that the listed
    elevation under Select PVI is correct. The HighPointElevation and
    LowPointElevation property for the asym vc also seems to list the correct
    value.

    Unrelated, the begin and end station properties for the asym vc are also
    listing incorrectly.

    I can send you a drawing and code if you like.

    Sincerely,

    Drew,
    Much thanks - seems simple to check from your reply, I'll verify and write
    to you directly if I have any questions.
