Profile view not showing up correctly in plan and profile sheets.

I'm trying to create plan and profile sheets from an allignment after creating the view frames. When I create the sheets the minimum and maximum of the profile changes automatically per sheet, but the surface is always at the very bottom. The minimum elevation of the surface is always the minimum elevation shown on the profile. Additionally part of the profile is always cut from the view port. Is there a way to change this so the surface is closer to the middle of the profile and not sitting at the minimum?

 

I've attached 2 PDFs that show this.

 

I know I can change the max and min of the profile manually, but with a large number of sheets that would be extremely time consuming.

 

Thanks for any help!

When creating Sheets, try the Profile View Wizard, using the "Mean Elevation" option.

 

The Profile View Data Band Style used also affects profile view placement within the viewport.

I've tried both the minimum elevation and the mean elevation option and they don't seem to change anything.

 

I noticed that the view port grabs the bottom right corner of the profile, cutting off the elevations on the right side and the stationing on the bottom. Is this comming from a view style?

Thanks Jay!

 

It seems that the mean elevation option only worked when the split profile view box was unchecked which I did not realize.

 

I messed with the profile view data band style to get the placement how I needed. A lot of trial and error, but it worked well.

 

Thanks for the help.
