I'm confused with this message, I thought the wizard was supposed to make them even?

Try inserting PI's at the appropriate locations on each profile.

How did you create the profile?

In my experience, I've found that the best way to get the intersection tools to work is to develop the profile from PIs, not from free-hand tangents.

Just out of curiosity, does the intersection occur on a VC of the secondary rd profile?

Also, did you try to continue with the command? I think if you do it will match the cl but the rest of the seconadry profile will need attention and do so is nothing an UNDO can't fix.

If I knew the appropriate place I would need the intersection wizard?

I can't remember exactly, but a message similar to this happens when you're trying to make an intersection with DREF'd profiles...you can't do that.

Joe,

I've encountered this warning as well but I never took the time to figure out what to do about it.

I notice the warning says the profile entities have to be either a fixed tangent or free parabola. Can you verify that is what you have used in your layout profile at the intersection?

When I use it I always get the intersection nailed down before running the wizard.

Good point.

Is it one of the tutorial drawings included in the product? Knowing which one might help.

Neil

yes it is OOTB, but regardless, when you do an intersection do you use a fixed tangent on the side road?

Low and behold: layout tangents are fixed tangents.
