Profile View based on Alignment

In picture 1 below, this is a profile of a driveway. I drew an alignment at the driveway and generated a profile based of that alignment. The profile is capturing half the assembly as shown by red lines tying to the existing red line grade. Is there is way to not capture the daylight sub-assembly showing the tie to the existing grade? the structural section is generated by the top and bottom link i believe because if i delete one (either the top or bottom link), the daylight line is still there because i believe the top and bottom link are generating two daylight line since it is basically tracing the top shape and bottom shape. Again, how do i not capture the daylight line in the profile view of a driveway?

If I understand your question, you have a driveway alignment perpendicular to your main corridor baseline, and your driveway alignment profile is showing your corridor FG surface, which is where that daylight line is coming from.  

 

If so, and you don't want to see where your corridor FG daylights in the area included within the driveway, I suggest make a new composite surface with your FG pasted in, and then your driveway FG surface pasted in, then show that surface in the driveway profile.

is it just one driveway or several up and down the road? We used to put a cross section at every driveway and create regions to define them. this video and a couple others by the same guy on youtube show how to model driveways.

Hi,

In the corridor surface you can create a new surface and add the codes of your top most layer instead of 'top' codes. That may be the codes for your asphalt layer. That does not have daylight in it.

 

Thanks
