    Hello,

     

    What can I do to show intersection information in a profile label?

     

    I mean, supose I have two roads (A and B)... what should I do to show in the road A vertical profile the name and the station of road B in the properly position of this A profile?

     

    example from a similar post (pdf attached):

    You can insert a block at the intersection and use the project object to profile view tool and select that block.

    Thanks for your reply, Matt.

     

    And how can I insert a block in the intersection? Should I do it manually or set it by some alignment or intersection style?

    Of course I already have an intersection object set but maybe this is not what you are talking about ...

     

    Thanks again and I hope solve it :smileyhappy:

    No just a regular block. It won't dynamically move if you adjust your intersection.

    WISH:
    The ability to project an intersection object to profile views. Better yet, let's make this an automatic thing. Project ALL intersection objects as they are created.

    That what I was afraid of...

     

    Later I'll try do it dynamic with visual basic :smileyhappy:

     

    I share your wish. Thanks!
