Continue profile at break

[connor.daviesXY4Z8]

Hi,

I've created a profile and I've put a "break" (I guess you can call it that?) in the elevation of it (representing depth changes in a pipe network - yes, I know I should be using the pipe network design tool but I don't have the time to learn how to use it at this stage).

In the picture attached, you can see where civil 3d thinks the profile has stopped because it is not joined with the existing section, so the labels also stop. Is there a way to change this so that it will recognise individual sections of the profile?

Hello!

Why don't you just connect it with a vertical? you can later omit it if you model something on it as a baseline.

Also, seems to me you only have labels at grade break points. Go to profile labels, select lines and add whatever labels you wish 🙂

Hey,

Thanks for the ideas. Unfortunately it won't let me connect it vertically. I guess that's because the grade would be infinite?

Is there any way to get around this?

Also, I tried adding the line labels but it still stops where the break in the profile is. I've attached another picture to demonstrate.

Hey, 

Similar to vertical surfaces i guess. Try and draw just off vertical, 0.05 run against the desired rise.
