Hey H8;
It all depends on where you are in the stage of design whether you answer
this question with a "Yes". I'm of the opinion that this should have a
Default answer of "No".
Since this "option" gives you the chance to completely start over you need
to be judicious when you apply that Yes. The "vertical surfaces" under
consideration here is an error in semantics by our Benevolent Dictators at
AD. They are describing ALL the Profiles already contained within the
database.
So if you only have the EG Profile, you're pretty safe to say Yes here. If
you have changed the location of the Horizontal Alignment and need to cut a
new EG Profile, but for whatever reason you wish to retain part of the
earlier FG Profile's design, then you definitely do not want to answer Yes
here.
As Rush Limbaugh used to say - "Words mean things" and a pretty poor choice
of words was used in this case IMHO.

In my process of creating profiles, I get a question that I never really
know how to answer. When I choose profiles, existing ground, sample from
surface and I do my surface sampling for a surface I have sampled before (I
usually re-do this because of changes) I get a message that asks "Vertical
alignment already exists, retain finish surfaces?: What exactly is this
asking for, and do you have any advice on which to choose when?
