Trimble.Vce.Alignment.Linestring - indicator for invalid element solutions?

    Hi,

    when I create feasibility models for ramps I usually set all elements to smooth at the beginning, just to get a rough idea what shape is best.

    Later I tend to replace the smooth elements with straight segments and tangent arcs. Be dragging the vertices around with no-snap I can still adjust the shape.

    But sometimes it's very hard to see if the tangent arc is a proper solution or a kink.

    That's why I'm working on a macro that combines showing the line direction and highlighting element types. Preferably I also want to draw an exclamation mark if a segment has no viable solution, i.e. the orange "pi arc" below.

    I assume there is a "solver" involved. Is there any way to get a solution report per linestring?
