I am trying to establish edges of pavement in my template based on plan linework. Because at this point I'm more familiar with end conditions and feel that they are a superior solution when dealing with variable points (compared with Horizontal Feature Constraint, which is either less useful or underdocumented), I'm using end conditions that target Linear Horizontal.
I have two different end conditions:
- EC targeting the boundary of one vehicle's envelope (as a lane line)
- child EC targeting another vehicle's envelope (as edge of pavement)
- child EC targeting Elevation (another name for "nothing") as a fallback in case it finds the lane line but nothing further.
- EC targeting the same envelope as EC1.a. in case EC1 fails.
What I want to do now is have another set of end conditions that will be applied according to whichever result we have, whether it's combination 1.a. or 1.b. or 2. You might understand that I don't want to construct three full sets of end conditions.
My most obvious solution is to create a component template that I'll attach at each three of these points, but I'd rather keep my template concise.
Is that the only reasonable way to handle this, or is there another way which is to give these end points conflicting names (seeing that they are all mutually exclusive, they shouldn't mind that they have the same name) that I don't know about? I've seen that in the Test End Conditions window there's a Check Duplicates button which shouldn't exist if this route was impossible.
