Profile view created from the alignment is incomplete

[Anonymous]

I'm experiencing this issue and seems like there's no way around it. so I created a profile from my alignment with the specified start and finish stations, but the profile view created is incomplete (like the ending station in the alignment was 4+022 but the profile created ends at 2+820). I even picked the start and the ending stations manually but didn't work. 

I'd appreciate any help.

Dear friend,

Change the scale of the workspace to a larger value and see if it works. If your scale is 1:1000 change it to 1:250 or so and see whether you get better results.

Thanks

Perhaps you have a "hole" in your surface.

You can make a profile view from just an alignment. The station range of the profile view default to the station range of the alignment. If the alignment has a gap in its geometry the default station range passed to the profile view will stop at the gap.

So, check your alignment for a gap in the geometry at 2+820.

(the profile band going beyond the profile view is something I've never seen)

Thank you very much, my professor asked us for a 1:2000 scale map. when I change the scale to 1:1000 apparently it fixes the issue but messes with my desired scale, any other way to solve this? 

thanks again.

As you can see sir there's not any hole in the alignment. apparently when I change the 1:2000 scale to a larger one it fixes the issue but I don't wanna do that. any other way?

thanks again.

I searched for a gap but I found none, when I make the scale of the project larger apparently it fixes the problem but I don't wanna do that. thanks for further solutions. (first attachment is scaled 1:2000 and the second is 1:1000)

Changing the scale fixes the issue because it changes the size of the text. The smaller text fits completely below the profile view but the larger text does not. You'll need to change your profile view style to use a larger major station gap. Select the profile view (the grid), right click, and choose, "Edit Profile View Style" (or something like that, I'm working from memory here). In the profile view style dialog box, go to your horizontal grid and under the section "major tick interval" make the interval larger. You'll need to do this for the top and bottom of the view so change the radio button to top (it defaults to bottom) and make the interval the same there.

Ahh, so its not that the profile view isn't being drawn beyond 2+820, its that the profile band is expanded horizontally to prevent text overwriting text, base on the current scale setting.

Thanks sir that solved the issue.

Yes, This is very uncommon and rare scenario. I remember this because one of my colleagues had this issue and we spent some time on identifying this. 

The cause this occurs is that you are using a scale that the template is not initially designed for.

For example if the profile view text and other dimensions are designed to 1:500 scale and you are using 1:2000 scale to create the profile view, it generates the issue on this topic. 

This mainly happens when you are working on an unfamiliar template or dwg because you don't know the usual parameters and constraints on the template.

As BrianHailey has noted you have to edit the profile view style to suit the conditions.
