Corridor discontinuity in curb return extremes when re-opening a .dwg

Mpcconsultora — Wed, 22 Jan 2020 12:21:34 GMT

Hello:

I wanted to ask why and how to solve a issue that I have had for years. When I create a intersection in C3D, after closing the file and re-opening it the corridor seems to be discontinued in curb return extremes. The same happens in the .dwg where I make a external reference of the .dwg where the intersection corridor is. This happens, as well, to the data shortcuts of the corridor made in other file. This issue es very annoying and had persisted for many version of Civil 3D. Please se images.

It appears to me that it may be caused by exploding an mtext that has had background mask set.

It is normally not selectable with a pick but you can window it and delete it.

That's my best guess!

Hi @wfberry :

No, nothing related to a mtext. Please, some can help me with this.

Perhaps post a drawing that shows it.

I see this when the curb return and road regions are overlapping each other a little bit, or otherwise just not butting up together correctly.. Can you upload the drawing.

The regions are not overlaping. I have not edited the regions, they are how the intersection command made them.

Just by grip editing the Regions a little bit I got it to close, but not sure what is causing it in the first place.

That's exactly what I don't know either. Can someone give me a answer? Thank you @fcernst anyway.

It also drags the curb return error to the coverage areas inserted in Infraworks. Please, someone tell me what's happening.Corridor Coverage areas in IW

Does someone have a solution? or have experience something similar...

hello,

the problem is your corridor regions do not end at the same point.

1. turn on the corridor layer

2. select the region

3. use the grip to move the end of the region to the end of the other region

4. refresh / rebuild the surface

this should solve your problem.

good luck,

hi @Anonymous :

No, that's not the problem. The regions start and end at the same point. Actually, when I re-open the drawing (as I said in the first post), I rebuild the corridor without modifying anything and it fills up every hole. But, if not, the hole persists, even in the IW model.

Please, someone can help me with this.

Try adding a small gap (0.01 units) between the stations instead of having them at the same location.

Civil 3D does weird things when the regions are at the same location. It looks like Civil 3D does two different things when the drawing is opened and then when it is reubuilt after being opened. By putting the gap, Civil 3D should behave more consistently.

Hi @Civil3DReminders_com :

It finally worked with that solution. Although, as you said, Civil 3D does weird thing.

Hi @lynn_zhang I think that with all the versions and updates Civil 3D should solve this annoying issues.

Hi @Mpcconsultora glad to hear it worked! Thanks for your feedback on this.
