Offset profile from cross sections

[Anonymous]

How do I get an offset profile from the cross sections?

I can sample the terrain model at certain offsets. I can sample the centerline from the cross sections. But I can't seem to find how to sample the cross sections at a particular offset.

Thanks

Hey S;

If you're on Subscription, you could acquire Road Output Extension (LDT3 and
later versions) and get what you want out of there.

The only thing you would need to do is add a Point Code for the Offset line.
If it were along a Transition Alignment, it would just follow that wherever
you indicated.

Hey guys, this is a little trick I have been using:

1. I add vertices to my pline to pick up TIN elevations at a desired
interval
2. Then define the pline as a Temp pipe run with settings set invert dist
below rim=0 )
3. import conceptual run to profile ( which is the ground profile)
4. set profile offset layer current explode pipe run to that layer
5. then define offset profile.
6. Then I trash the pipe run to avoid inadvertent confusion later


Its not as slick as some of the VBA routines out there BUT it in the box.

Hey Joe;

Thanks for the reminder re. that old gem. I've not seen that one mentioned
in a while.
