How to modify incorrect radius of alignment curve?

I have a general question in regards to Civil 3D alignments. I'm currently in the process of shifting an alignment from its original position to a new location and while doing so noticed that there is a segment within the alignment that contains a curve with an incorrect radius. I would like to know if there is a way to modify the radius of a curve within an existing alignment?

The method that I have used thus far was I deleted the curve from the alignment using the "Delete Sub-entity" tool, and recreated a new curve with "Fixed Curve - Two points and Radius" however after doing so I encountered two additional problems; 

(1) All associated "Alignment Station Offset Label" from the original curve got deleted once I removed the original curve, and after creating the new curve the "alignment station offset label" for the new curve did not populate. 

(2) After creating the new curve within the existing alignment I checked the "Alignment Grid View" and the new curve was not within the list of the existing alignment data. 

Thank you!

Hello!

If you select the aligment -> gometry editor, there's a button there. Looks kindof like a pad and a pen (?), recalling it. There you Will find all your elements, and radii are editable.

Hi,

Instead of deleting the curve you can do this.

Go to alignment grid view.

Find the curve that you need to modify.

If the radius is editable edit the radius.

If the radius is not editable click the unlock icon on the relevant row to make the radius editable.

Then edit the radius. 

By this way you can make all labels updated as it is.

 

Thanks
