Is there a way to show 2 alignments on 1 cross section view?

Sure....you can...

do you mean this as in ...superimposed profiles...

or two alignments adjacent to each other?


either way, you may hate the process to do so.  and I'll stop typing now...

I have a railroad project that we are replacing some mainline track, extending siding track 1 and replacing some track on siding track 2.

Currently I have a alignment along the CL of siding track 1 as this is the track with the most work taking place.  I then created a Misc alignment for a small portion of track along the mainline track (15'o/s rt of siding 1).

What I would like to do is only have 1 set of cross section views but show the corridor from 3 different alignments.

If that makes sense?

If I go into the sample line groups for the misc alignment I can choose both corridors but the sample line groups of the siding track 1 only allows me to pick the one corridor.

Figured it out....All I had to do was create an additional assembly with an offset alignment.  Works great now.   Must be a Monday :)

Good Talking to you also.  Nothing like a "brain fart" to get you going on a Monday morning.
