Hi.
I am looking for the tangent property (well, in Spain we call it "tangente" ) the length showed in yellow:
Actually, there are 2 values, tangent IN and tangent OUT, although in ParabolaSymmetric or Circular, both are equals. (and they are different in ProfileEntityType.ParabolaAsymmetric).
I don´t find this value neither in API Civil 3D 2015 or in the profile table (showed in the picture).
I know that I can calculate it with slope and (PVI_Station - StartStation(parabola) )
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I'm not sure why those properties are not calculated, but I assume it's because they're not typically required. I've never seen them displayed nor has anyone asked for them. But as you said, they are easily calculated, so a couple extension methods and a couple expressions would easily satisfy what you are asking for.
Note that there is a wrong assumption (or a simply mis-statement) in your post. The start and end tangent lengths are not equal to each other for symmetric curves (unless the tangent slopes are mirrored) but the station length is equal.
OK.
You are right. I didn´t check that.
For my reports, I need the "horizontal tangent" . In that sample: 16.2758, so I only have to calculate the rest. (StationPVI-StartStationParabola)
I was surprised that those values didn´t appear in the data table.
Thanks.
