Happy Friday,
I'm having an issue with an assembly not following an alignment correctly. It is supposed to be generated along an alignment at the face of curb, but the assembly alignment is not centered correctly and is appearing to generate offset from the assembly anchor.
Picture 1: The general plan of my intersection. I have a split median main road with cross slopes angled toward the center bio-swale. The intersecting road is a basic urban local. The spot elevations are at the face of curbs, and the white alignments are the foc's I plan on generating along.
Picture 2: How my attempted curb alignment is generating. Appears to be generating along the daylight. The orange lines are where the curb anchors should meet.
Picture 3: Where my assembly for the curb is centered. The anchor is at the face of curb, as expected.
How to I move where my assembly is generated? It appears to be anchored to the Face of Curb, but the generating corridor begs to differ. My hz alignment used is the FOC alignment, and the vt alignment is a profile made using the spot elevations. The surface target is of course the ppsd surface, and the width target for the curb alignment is the existing boundary for the main corridor. It should line up perfectly, but it's making a mess- help!

Accepted solution
I figured it out, although I will admit it's slightly round-about.
I started fresh with a new assembly, only copying over the curb sub-assembly. Once I had the curb attached (at the Edge of Pavement, not at Face of Curb) I moved the "Insertion Point" NOT the "Base Point"
(For those that are experiencing similar problems: The "Insertion Point" is from where the alignment centers your assembly during generation)
