Basic Side Slope Cut Ditch displays "Cut/Fill Slope Layout Mode"

[aschneiderSCHY8]

I have gone into the settings tab of tool space and make the edits necessary for my grade and arrows for the cross section however i can not get the cut and fill slopes to strictly display their slope (3:1). Is there a work flow to make this happen?

Thanks!

You may need to investigate "Code Set Styles".  Look here:

Toolspace --> Settings --> General --> Multipurpose Style --> Code Set Styles

Yes, I have gone through all of my Link, Point, and Shape Codes Starting with "Daylight, Daylight_Cut, Daylight_Fill" and eventually doing every single one turning the label style from whatever is needed to "<none>" to see which one makes the change and none of them affected it.

Does how I explained this make sense?

Thanks!

Perhaps this will help.

Rt. click you corridor and select Corridor Properties, the third tab down is CODES, select this and you will see what code set style you are currently using.  Using the dropdown, you can change styles here.

That is the other thing this inst attached to a corridor or an alignment. I'm strictly using this to create general cross sections for a asphalt sidewalk/Trail. Does this have to be set to a corridor for me to be able to make it display the slope?

Thanks!

Quite frankly I believe you lost me.  Can you attach your drawing?

Your picture is of the assembly that you are using.

I think that you are trying to use this as an illustration of the "Typical Section."

If this is the case, it can not be done.

The assembly is a schemaric diagram that is intended to help the designer visualize the cross section. It looks like a typical section, but that is not its intent.

You will need a workaround.

Try creating a dummy alignment, dummy profile (level) and dummy surface. The surface should cover all of the Typical conditions. You can then assign sections and create section views. The sections views will become your typical sections. You may want to"stack" some of the section views to show more than one condition in the view. Annotate the section views as needed.

Yes, I'm using it for a typical section, thanks for the help!
