Link to Marked Point not Lining Up

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have an assembly with an offset that I'd like to link together using a marked point. I've done it several times in different sections of this corridor and it works fine. For some reason though, this last one just doesn't line up. I've tried adjusting the offset elevation as well as switching to different "link to marked point" pieces and renaming the "marked point". 

I thought it might be the graphics card, it sometimes makes things look like it doesn't line up when they do, but it prints that way too.

 

Screen shots attached.

 

Any ideas?

Double-check Assembly Properties and be sure the Marked Point is added before the Link to Marked Point.

 

Also, be sure the Marked Point name of the Marked Point exactly matches the Marked Point Name that you specify for the LinktoMarkedPoint.

The point is on a different part than the link, so I'm not sure if this is what you mean or not. Screen shot attached.

 

The name is definitely the same. Checked, double checked, and tripled checked.

Hi @Anonymous! Are your baselines parallel? If not, try using the Link to Marked Point 2 subassembly instead.

 

All the best,

No, the baselines are not parallel. In this area of the corridor, the turn lane taper is ending and the sidewalk and road are getting farther apart.
It already is a Link to Marked Point 2.

Would you mind providing a copy of the file and maybe highlighting the areas of concern (if there's a lot going on)? That subassembly is supposed to be for scenarios exactly like this (when baselines aren't parallel), but there have been reported issues using it.

 

All the best,

I've attached the file and circled the corridor, the profile, the cross section, and the assembly in magenta.

 

Thank  you!
