3 LINE PROFILE CURB TRANSITIONS

[jonathan]

Here in south California we use three line road profiles.  If there is a bus pullout or lane transition we show the curb profile based on centerline stationing.  I'm able to generate a the corridor using a transition lane assembly from centerline  and targeting a widened offset alignment or just a feature line.  I can import the corridor curbfeature line into a profile which would be a perfect solution, but it is all trundicated. (i.e. no vertical curves)  I can create a profile of the offset alignement, but the stationing doesn't match centerline.

How can I either generate a nontrunidicated profile from the corridor for my curb profiles?

or

How can create a design profile of a transition/pullout curb line that I can target and plot against centerline stationing?

(Hope that wasn't too confusing.)

Superimpose?

If you're generating profiles from a corridor feature line you cannot create a profile with curves, it will always be "tessellated", for lack of a better word.

Just create the profile in the same view as the road CL.  What I would do is generate the corridor profile then somewhat trace over it with a "real" design profile.

If all I had to do was display the profile line super imposing would be fine, unless I'm missing something, but city agencies want to see vertical curve, horizontal geometery points, and grades station and elevation labels.  

Looks like "tracing over" or manually drawing in varying offset alignments may be the only option.

Yes, tracing would be the way. I misread your post.
