Cnsecutive vertical curves

[ekubaskie]

C3D will not let me create 2 adjacent vertical curves. I have 2 VPIs 200' apart. When I create a 100' curve at one, I get a "no solution" message when I try to do a 100' curve at the other.

I have been able to work around the problem by making one of the curves 99.9999'. With rounding, all the labels show values for 100', but I think it ought to function with the correct values.

On the plus side, having a 0.0001 tangent between the curves forces it to label the instantaneous grade at the PVCC!

Check out my post down on 1/20/06, I asked the same thing, and got some
answers.
