X-Sec Pinned to ROW

[Anonymous]

I have a project (actually, this is the second one) where we want to grade
from the back of the curb to meet existing AT the ROW, regardless of slope.

I've tried fooling it by setting slopes from 0.1 to 10000000, turned hold on
& off, use maximum and override, seems I've tried every setting in there yet
nothing seems to work. The most success I've had is when I gave it a really
high slope number (almost flat) and my section was in fill. Otherwise, is
meets exist at the slope.

We need it to grade from the back of curb to meet exist at the ROW for each
and every cross section, so we can create contours.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried trimming your surface to the R/W?

Thats a great idea Bill, I think it might work

But - how do I do that?

Is there a quick and easy way?
I have a fixed ROW width one end of the job to the other.

?Maybe just create a new boundry, following the ROW, using all the same
points and breaklines?

Hey Jeff, it sounds like you've tried a lot of different settings to get this to work but just in case, I attached a jpg of my slope control settings. I have never had a problem pinning the ROW. just wondering if you had everything set correctly.

Or set your existing section sample width to the width of the ROW to avoid having to create a boundry. That being said, there is no reason why Hold/Override in design control won't work . I've never had a problem with it.

DRW - I tried your exact settings and it still only tied at the ROW when it
couldn't meet exist with 3:1.
SO - I entered a Negative 0.1 (-.1) in all 4 Typical boxes, and - WA LA!!!
it WORKED!!!!!

Jeff, I'm having a hard time visualizing what you're trying to do. I thought you wanted to tie the slope at the ROW to force your design to stay within that ROW regardless of slope. And I'm really confused by the negative slope thing. I've never tried that but it almost seems like it would just reverse your cut & fill.
