Pavement Layers in a Profile View Band

[kbarnettza]

Greetings,
I am trying to create a Profile View Band to show the Pavement Layers of the designed road. Has anybody found a workable solution? I thought of placing the pavement design in an Access database; use a specific syntax in sub-assembly names that matches ths access data; use VBA to get the subassemly names applied in the Corridor; then add a Profile View Band to the Profile View via Title label components. But I have not yet been able to access the Title label components of a Profile View Band Style 😞
Are we the only company that applied a standard of showing Pavment Layers on long sections? (past tense - not quite correct - we are doing it still with Civil 3D, but the information is disconnected)
Thanks. Message was edited by: GuitHero2

Are you pavement layers uniform? I suspect they are. A detail does not do it
for you I gather?

You can create as many offset profile as needed and build the data band from
that.

Thanks for replying Joe. Attached is an image of what we would like to be automated in Civil 3D. A detail drawing in the Project lists all pavement layers and related actions (the drawing containig typical sections). The list is numbered. Long sections include a Pavement Layers band - this band lists just the layer info applicable. Please take a look then let me know how we could make this workable in Civil 3D.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Kevin.

Kevin your image looks to me like the pavement layers is a "Note" added to
the profile, is the correct? are you looking to include pavement layer
elevations in the data band or only the description as shown?

The description can be added as a profile label via the description field
(you prob know that).

Sorry if I'm not getting your intent.

Yes - only the descriptions wanted - not elevations.
We would like a band that collects the pavement layer info from the corridor applied assemblies - then - if the corridor is rebuilt using maybe a modified assembly the band should read the change and update automatically.
At the moment we are adding text components to the profile band title - the text components have zero connectivity, just dumb text.

That sounds like a feat. I don't have anything to offer, sorry
