Intersection Grading/Corridor - Crashing CAD

[lsegerlin]

I am working on adding another baseline to my already made corridor. The baseline I am adding is for a left curb return. When I set up my targets for the curb, linking the elevation and setting the width targets works just fine. When I add the slope targets and reference the proposed profiles (Centerline of the road I am working on and edge of pavement of the intersecting road) and click ok or apply, CAD goes into the infinite circle of doom and has the load bar at the bottom constantly showing rebuilding corridor. Our IT department give me an entire new computer and it is still doing this. 

It is only when I add in the profile targets for the slope and click apply that CAD does this. All other baselines that don't require profile slope targets, I never have this issue.

Is this in 2023?

@neilyj666 It is in Civil 3D 2022

I don't have an answer...but I am experiencing crashes in 2023 using the new target selection dialog boxes.

Have you tried the obvious? Audit, close Civil and clear out your %temp% folder, wblock drawing to new drawing?

Can you post your drawing and someone with 2022 may be able to verify the behaviour

Anytime I see a corridor go wonky it invariably goes back to the targets.

that confused me: elevation and width targets fine but what is slope target for, and the elevation target was the centerline of road. Also, the new baseline dis c3d make it or you?  sometimes a polyline generated alignments may have extraneous double segments and it runs back on itself?

[lsegerlin]

Thanks for the response, I tried all those things and unfortunately it did not work. I have had it work before and when I have a co-worker do the same actions it works on his. I was thinking maybe it was the graphics card, RAM or memory on my computer but my company gave me a brand new/better computer and when I still was having the problem that when I finally posted on the forum.

I did make the alignments from polylines using "create alignment from objects". After your comment I went back and created new alignments using the "Alignment creation tool". Tried to run the corridor again and it didn't work. 

My subassembly for the left curb return: baseline is the left arc (edge of pavement) which I created a profile for. on the right side I have a lane superelevation that I want to width target the centerline alignment of Taxiway A and the offset alignment Runway Left edge of pavement. I also want the elevation target to be the proposed profiles of the above alignments. *When I said width and elevation are working fine, I meant width and target surface my mistake. the left side of the subassembly is a link slope to surface*

If I run the corridor only inputting the target surface and width target my CAD still work and doesn't go into the infinite loading "rebuilding corridor". When I start to select the proposed profile for the elevation target and run the corridor that is when it goes into the infinite loading and I end up having the force close CAD. 

Hopefully that clarified some things.

can you share the drawing?

When corridors go into infinite rebuilds, it is usually caused by a looping condition. Make sure you are not targeting an entity created/modified by the corridor.

Because she's working on an airport, she may not be able to post the drawing.

[lsegerlin]

Yes, I can't share the file because it is an airport.

I did have a target that was made off the same corridor i was adding on to. I swapped it out for a feature line and assigned the proposed surface elevations and that worked great! thank you so much.
