Custom Lane Subassembly problem with superelevation-layer depth

[Olga-L]

Hello good people of Civil3D,

I've made a custom lane subassembly (in SC 2018) in order to be able to change the point codes in it. It consists of five possible layers. Sometimes I want to reduce the number of layers, so I change some layer's depth to 0. It works well with normal lane slope (see pic.1), but if I have to employ superelevation slope changes, the "0" layer starts behaving oddly and gets full depth on its edges (to be exact, it behaves like there is no superelevation and no depth change). See pic.2 - have any ideas? Couldn't attach the subassembly to this post, so it is available HERE

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

 Personally I dislike the ApplyAOR checkbox. It rarely behaves the way I want it to.

I would:

1. Uncheck ALL of your ApplyAOR checkboxes.
2. After P1 add an auxiliary point, AP1 with AL1 that is set up the same as your current P2 (except with NO ApplyAOR).
3. Add the following Define Variable at the start of your flowchart called CalculatedSlope= if(Target_slope.isvalid=true,AL1.slope,IF((UseSuperelevation=LeftInsideLane) AND (SE.HasLeftLI) , SE.LeftLI ,
   IF((UseSuperelevation=LeftOutsideLane) AND (SE.HasLeftLO) , SE.LeftLO,
   IF((UseSuperelevation=RightInsideLane) AND (SE.HasRightLI) ,SE.RightLI,
   IF((UseSuperelevation=RightOutsideLane) AND (SE.HasRightLO) , SE.RightLO,
   IF((UseSuperelevation=LeftInsideShoulder) AND (SE.HasLeftSI) , SE.LeftSI,
   IF((UseSuperelevation=LeftOutsideShoulder) AND (SE.HasLeftSO) , SE.LeftSO,
   IF((UseSuperelevation=RightInsideShoulder) AND (SE.HasRightSI) , SE.RightSI,
   IF((UseSuperelevation=RightOutsideShoulder) AND (SE.HasRightSO) , SE.RightSO,ctype(TopSlope,double))))))))))
4. For P2 slope use the CalculatedSlope. 
5. For all of your other links that you want parallel to L1, either use the CalculatedSlope or L1.slope. 

The attached PKT is one of mine that is similar to what you are trying to do and you can see a similar setup as how I listed above. Change the .zip to .pkt after downloading.
