Topic: Skewed Cross section

[kevinh]

I have a sample line that I moved the endpoints so that it is skewed to the main baseline.  Skewed to show a cross pipe.  I have added this station as an additional station to sample in the corridor.  Question is:  Is there a way to get Civil3d to place an assembly on this skewed section so that it shows up on the cross section sheets?

Maybe I just have to create a small "construction" baseline perpendicular to the pipe and then cut a cross section that way?

Thanks for your help

Yes and NO

Mostly no...the sample increment always projects perpendicular to the baseline, the Sample Line group, the thing whose end points you changed are variable...

And now you have moved them oblique to the alignment...

So, you will NOT get a normal section at that station.


However, if you build all of the corridor surfaces and then do a Sample More Sources for your SLG and THEN you should see the surfaces from the assemblies, you just will not get your normal assembly sections and labels per your code set style....

However you may want to create a separate SLG just for this oblique station section...
