create a profile from point file

[Anonymous]

Hello,

First time creating a profile from a point file. So I was watch a video by Jeff Bartell where he opens a notepad and types the station elevations and curve radiius and the begin and end can not have any curves and a space between the station elevations and curves. In my situation I have no curves just pi's. I already have a profile view of the surface og.

So as a example I have this:

1038.66 348.00

1045.34 320.00

2010.33 300.00

I saved this file as a .txt per video.

When I go to profile>profile from file and input all the info I get a error unable to create profile. Unabe to create profile. The text file contains space deliminated numerical values only.

I have checked evey and I dont see any extra space.

I am not able to post the file.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks

I've never done it this way so thought I would give it a try.

I created a similar txt file on an existing profile view that I had and it worked.

I guess in your case...  in your example, the stations would be 10+38.66 etc.   Make sure your Profile View is showing that range of stationing and that it is the correct range of elevations.

Can you post the actual file please.

Make sure the stations are in accending order and the txt file is saved as MS DOS

Oh and does your alignment contain the stations in the file
