    How is the best way to edit an entire vertical alignment up or down by the same elevation change?

    Hey Glenn,

     

    There are no direct tools to my knowledge that will do a delta shift of an Alignment entity in BC-HCE.

     

    In order to easily accomplish your goal, I use the offset tool menu....

     

    • Offset the alignment by 0, horizontally,
    • Apply your delta offset under the vertical portion
      • That will create a linestring with your offset applied. 
    • Create another alignment with the newly created linestring, appending both the horizontal and vertical values.

    You will now have a 2nd alignment to work with.  If you have a corridor that you have attached everything to, edit the corridor and apply the new horizontal and vertical alignment.  Your model will adjust.

    Glenn,

     

    Create a Profile View, Select everything and move FROM Pick end of VAL (0+00, 735.50) TO type (0+00, 736.60)

    Or whatever your station and end elevation is.  CHECK, CHECK.CHECK.

    Awesome!  I did not know that this Terramodel trick is also in TBC!  Thanks for sharing!
