LinkWidthAndSlope OMIT Link corridor rebuild still there

[RobertEVs]

LinkWidthAndSlope subassembly. I was under the impression that once the LW&S-SA was ommitted the corridor would not build out past the ends of my lane, but it still does. I set to yes or no makes no difference.

The Omit Link function, in my experience, only omits that Sub-Assembly from showing up in the Sections.  That way you can use your LinkWidthAndSlope Sub-Assembly to locate another Sub-Assembly elsewhere while still keeping it tied to your main Assembly.

Thanks. My bad I should have set the width back to 0 and not omit the link. I use this to get front lot grading elevations off my corridor.

No problem @RobertEVs .  Yeah I use the LinkWidthAndSlope Sub-Assemblies a lot.  They are so customizable.  We do quite a bit of roadway reconstruct projects here in town and we model a corridor area between the back of curb and the property lines that shows a boxed area in the cross sections where power, comm, and gas lines can go.  Sometimes when I need to show two separate boxed areas, I'll use a LinkWidthAndSlope to locate where the second boxed area is in relation to the first boxed area, then omit that link so it doesn't show up.  Then, since it omits the link in the assembly itself, I just add a dimension in the assembly as a note to myself that there is an omitted link there.
