Assembly placed lower in intersections

I don't know why when I make an automatic intersection the curb assembly is placed on a lower elevation respect to the main and second roads in all quadrants

I post a screen capture of the issue.

 

Any help will be appreciated...

It looks like your elevation targets in the corridor aren't set correctly.

I set the elevation targets to alignments in each region after executing  the automatic inrtersection but don't know if I have to set elevations to sidewalk  roads or if I have to define something as a target before I execute  automatic intersection command.

 

Anyhow I follow the automatic section drawing and nothing else, but no matter what I do quadrant sidewalks allways appear lower than roads sidewalks.

If you can, share the drawing and someone will most likely be able to give you a quick answer.

I'll try to reduce drawing size and post it.

 

Thanks

OK.. Here is the compressed drawing.

I have eliminated lots of things and  reduced as much as I could.

 

I Hope it helps...

 

Thanks

For a much easier approach I post the drawing focussing  the view of the difference in level between main roads and intersection.

That's the way your assembly is created. Fix it and it should fix the corridor.

I don't understand what's the problem with the way I created the assembly.

 

I have tried with curb assemblies took directly fron the program and the same thing happens.

Some of your subassemblies have been moved after they were attached to the assembly.  Select them. right-click and clear the offset.  You should see them snap back to the correct location, relative to the assembly.

That's right, I moved the subassembly sidewalk after I atttached it to the assembly but the fact is that I want them to be where I placed them.

 

I'll do what you told me in all the asemblies and see what happens to the entire drawing.

 

Thanks...

Sorry...

 

I did what you told me and I still have the same difference in level...

Try this one.  I cleaned out some extra alignments and profile etc. and made it into one corridor instead of the two you had.

Well, you did some magic...

 

The problem is that the drawing I posted is not the one I have to work in. That was just a simplified couple  of alignments to show the issue I was facing.

 

Anyhow: thanks a lot. I now know that it is possible though I still have the doubt if it could be my installation and settings the real cause of the misbehaviour.

 

Thank you. I really appreciate your help.

Somethiing very strange for me is happening with my Civil 3D 2012...

 

To check if there was some program misfunction  I built two corridors with no slopes, same section, the assemblies are also flat, I set everything I found to zero slope...

 

Surprise !... in NE and SE quadrants there are still differences in those regions  levels compared to main and secondary roads.

In NE quadrant the relative level descends from the start at East as the curb progresses towards North, while in SE quadrant it starts lower in the southern start and ascends towards East end.

 

The curious thing is that NW and SW cuadrants are at the same level than roads...

 

¿?

 Mystery solved...

I built the intersection as part of the corridor and every thing worked fine...
