geopak-alignment length

Hello,

I am using Power Geopak V8i SS2.

I made an alignment and profile initially that worked well.  Then I mad a change to the alignment by moving tow vertex points and deleting some others.  This change had the affect of shortening my alignment overall.  To ensure the profile was still in agreement with the alignment, I re-built the profile cell and re-defined the ground profile linework based on linework, not surface.  However, when I go to build a geotechnical project by adding to borings and sampling in profile, I get the below message when I select my profile cell to set the borings in profile.  The geotechnical project will work if I select the profile max station to be 2392+14.54 when I select the profile cell to set the profile to receive my borings.  However, I have to ask, why does the profile not read the correct length of the alignment ?

ok. send me the gpk and tell me the name of the chain and profile and what stations it should have.

Did you mean for your alignment to have Station Equations? there are four regions on that alignment based on your capture.

You may need to restation your alignment in cogo. use this tool

Cogo > Element > Chain > Station

object would be the first element on your chain.

Nico,

Thanks for your feedback. I did not have your exact button selections but I used the following workflow: Application-> GEOPAK->Road->Geometry->Graphic Coordinate Geometry->select Navigator->select Element pull-down (chain)->double click name in lower window pane->change “Station As Is” to Begin Station->type beginning station value->select Store Chain button. Then exited all dialogs. However I still have the R4 region in the alignment and it still thinks profile is longer than alignment....

What could I be missing ?

Nico,

Name of chain is Chapin, and profiles are EG-CHAPIN.and HDD_CHAPIN.  The gpk is attached.communities.bentley.com/.../0576.jobgeo.gpk

The problem is with profile hdd_chapin. the stationing does not match the chain.

you can restation this profile, open Geopak > Road > Geometry > Coordinate Geometry and go to Element > Profile > restation
