Loosely related to this topic, so I am just posting this here, in lieu of a new thread.
Not sure about y'all, but my Profile Views frequently extend beyond a shown station range (in plan view), in order to fill up a plan and profile sheet's 'range'.
As example: A subdivision road ends with a cul-de-sac, the center of which is at STA 30+61.68, so I'll extend my Profile View to STA 32+00 (filling the sheet).
Problem is that I need to show through daylight (from R/W grading down to existing grade), and the surface sample ends at the end of the Alignment - which itself ends at the center of the cul-de-sac - another aspect to this, is that Pipe Network parts will not draw in Profile View, unless the Alignment is 'over' them (i.e., needing to be extended).
Same holds true for 'T' intersections as well, where I end up having to extend beyond the point of intersection for the two Alignments.
It looks 'cleaner' to have the Alignments terminate at the center of cul-de-sac, and centerline intersection respectively, but what other option is there besides having duplicate Alignments - as in, DREF the Alignments into plan base drawing, and DREF+Promote in Profile View drawings, where the Profiles are drawn, and create a DREF for Profiles only?
Cheers
