Offset Profile Not Spanning Entire Surface

Anonymous

I'm working on a job that requires me to show 3 different profiles in one profile view.  I created a profile based off my CenterLine Alignment, from Station 10+00 to Station 423+00. I tried to create offset profiles at -97' and 90' (Left and Right).  Issue is when I create the offsets, the Left offset (-97') stops at station 174+76 as opposed to stopping at sta 423+00.  The CL offset and Right offset profiles plot perfectly fine. My surface is not broken, and looks good.

 

As a test, I created offset alignments along with profiles and individual profile views for my CL, Left offset, and Right offset alignments. Those Showed up perfectly fine with no issues. I then tried to super impose the two offset alignment profiles onto my CL profile view, when I do that. I run into the same issue of my profile not being captured properly. 

I have attached an image of the issue. 

 

I've searched online but can't seem to find a solution.  Any ideas are welcomed. Thank You

The dynamic alignments and profiles have their own length and stationing. 

They are designed to be used in a triple profile view .... plan & profile sheet setup.

Is it possible the offset profiles' elevation ranges exceed the range provided through Profile View Properties?

Tim, I double checked that just now and it doesn't appear to be the problem. My profile elevations are within the max and min elevations of my profile view.

Having the same problem. Pappiah, did you find a solution in that you can share?

Well, for anybody else who runs into this, I have a work around.

 

In my case I needed an offset of 11.43m, but when I sample that particular offset it cuts the surface short. I can however add offsets at 11.429m or 11.431m and have the full length of available surface sampled. Hope this helps!
