I have run into an issue with a bike path that has limited ROW so in certain areas they have forced the side slopes to tie at 5' off of edge of pavement with the slope being variable of course.  Is there anyway to do this in TBC using corridors?  I know I could create a line at the said offset and elevate it using the OG surface to create nodes.  However, I am using slope tables on my side slopes already because they are changing frequently.  And since I am using the tables I don't get the option of using nodes inside the tables.  About all I can think of is to insert another template at these location and change my side slope method.  (I know Alan just cringed lol)  I wish in side slope tables we had the option to select nodes or a 3D linestring.

I could create the corridor to get my daylight lines that have called out slopes and then trim those lines where they intersect the variable slope/fixed width tie and create a one 3D linestring and then re-run the corridor and change my side slope method to nodes and say to hell with the tables.

I appreciate any input.

Thanks,

a set distance from the hinge line right?

Create a 2d line at the distance you want from the hinge line and then drape it on the og and then add the draped line to the corridor as a reference line and then make a connect instruction from the hinge to the ref line - the slope will vary but it will tie correctly - i assume that is what you are asking?

You can probably do it in the corridor if you do an offset elev for the distance and 0 elev and then do a tie up or down to compute where the tie is on og Nd then do a connect from hinge to the tie line that you just computed. Leave the offset elev and the tie up or down as no material layer and then make the connect part of finished grade
