I brought this question up once but never got it resolved. Now I am cleaning up my template and since 2009 allows saving and sharing assemblies, I would like to finally get my assemblies to really match what is going to be staked and built.
The standard practice in this area for street design is to design under the assumption that the back of curb elevations will be equal to the design centerline regardless of pavement width, turn lanes or any other factor. Using that assumption, the back of curbs are staked accordingly and the actual centerline crown elevation is established by wherever the 2% slopes meet coming up from either side. Please believe me, NOTHING is going to alter this methodology. To this point, I have just ignored the problem and accepted the fact of not having true elevations at my back of curb and resort to trying to hover over the centerline at the correct station when I need a true elevation.
Is there an OOTB subassembly or method of assembly creation that will allow me to design to centerline and have the back of curb always match those elevations? I used to draw streets in Colorado that were designed at the flowline which is pretty much what I think I need to do, but I don't Civil 3D is built to allow this and even if it were, I would expect extreme resistance at all levels.
