Trimble Business Center

I have this strange issue.

I have created a Corridor Template.

In the two highlighted segments above, when I use the slider bar, I see that the Offset width varies. I could not find a reason for the same.

I have attached the *.vce file as a Zip file.

Could some one help me.

Thanks.

All of them are staying consistent on my end Saif. However the first 3>4 is showing a positive 2% on your screen shot on the file provided its -2%


There is also on one template in the file provided you have three

Those auto-connecting nodes can be annoying and dangerous. Run into that a long time ago.
See here for the old thread
"corrupted" TBC file - any way to extract information or load anyway? | Trimble Business Center

Alan Sharp explains in number 8 how that works and suggests to add a Null/empty template before the next section. That will prevent the nodes in different templates to auto-connect.
Have been doing that ever since. Haven't done corridor modelling in a while, don't know if the feature request Alan mentions has been implemented in any way.

I figured out what was going wrong.

I had created additional templates further ahead in the chainage and the segment was transitioning in width to the next template. 

I corrected by creating additional templates which were copies of the previous template just a meter before the new template. This fixed the issue.

Thanks for all help.

If there is an easier and more robust work-around, do please let me know.

A blank template works well for certain things, but quite often you need to define a transition distance where the node begins to transition.

You can also uncheck the box to disallow transitions in that instruction:

That was great. Thanks.

I have never used a "Null" Template. I will check this out.

The video that Alan refers to is not there (Link not working, shows Error 404). Any way I can access this video. Would be of great help next time.

Thank you very much.

Sometimes it can be helpful to "bookend" sections, to make sure you control what is going on in-between and to manage the frustrating node connections. Instead of copying a template, consider using a reference template for this purpose. This will allow edits to more easily propagate.
