Does an alignment only allow one intersection created from the wizard?

I ask because I have two alignments with 2 interections each. To make it simple I have Align A, Align B, Align C, and Align D. Align A has an intersection with B & C. Align B has an intersection with A & D. I created the intersection with A & B with the intersection wizard and I tried to do the other intersections but it doesn't read my curbs other words it doesn't give me an option to edit the curb return parameters and curb return profiles. If this is something that happens with Civil 3D 2014 and older please let me know and also if the new Civil 3D 2015 doesn't have this issue please let me know. Otherwise if I am doing something wrong also clarify for me what I'm doing wrong and much thanks.

An image that shows your alignment layout would be helpful.

You can have any number of alignments crossing each other but they can only cross once. Also you cannot create an intersection where 2 alignments meet at a common point. For example if alignments A & B both begin or end at the point of intersection you can't use the wizard.

Here is my image. The intersection in the middle was where I used the wizard and the wizard doesn't work for the other 2 intersections. All intersections are clouded.

I can't see anything in the geometry that would cause a problem. It has to be a problem in your workflow, the drawing or the software.

I couldn't find anything either. I'm using Civil 3D 2014 have not upgraded to the new one due to being busy at work. But I will upload a picture of what the wizard does. It lets me pick the alignments give slope lane paramaters and slope lane profiles but does not recognize the curb return paramaters or curb return profiles.

I don't see any way to diagnose the problem without your file.

I am having problems uploading the file due to size. I don't know if having just the alignments and starting the corridor from scratch if that will make the size smaller.

You can try making a copy of your file and then reduce the extents to a manageable size by shortening the corridors, clipping the surface, etc. You might even find that by doing so the problem will disappear.

Dropbox, MS Onedrive, Google Drive, are all good, free, cloud storage services that make it easy to share larger drawing files.

Thanks for the suggestion but I actually found out what was wrong. For some reason the alignments or one of the alignments has to cross the other alignment by a little bit. Which is odd because the wizard read that the alignments were intersection but would not allow me to edit the parameters until I extend the secondary alignment a little pass the main alignment.

Behavior is confirmed.

Does anyone know if they fixed that small glitch in Civil 3D 2015? I know the new Civil 3D has corridor design enhancements and have not had a chance to install the new one due to work load.

I don't know that it is a glitch. It's probably WAD. I haven't installed 2015 nor have I seen anything that indicates a change in that functionality.
