Using Geopak SS3 .722, I'm attempting to create a point control using features another corridor is creating.
When I get to the point where it begins asking me for the corridor, I see that I have the option to select one corridor that's attached, but not the one I really need. Of course I've tried to click on the corridor's handles too. That doesn't work either.
In the Geopak help, under Civil Tools > Corridor Modeling > Modify > Point Control, there is information that I'm having trouble parsing.
Type - Corridor Point
For all modes, Corridor and Reference Feature combo boxes are displayed. These options allow you to set up the control of one corridor’s points(s) from another corridor’s point(s).
Targeting another corridor's point can not be done simultaneously with Target Aliasing of that same corridor. If Target Aliasing has been defined, the Corridor Point is not available for selection within the Point Control dialog. This produces a recursive situation, making the corridor point control unavailable for selection until that Target Aliasing is removed.
What I'm reading here is that I shouldn't expect to be able to use a corridor point as a point control if I am using that point as a target alias. In a bogus template I am using to test, I have no linear targets--indeed, I have no end conditions whatsoever. So why can I not have my point control target my other corridor?
It may be worth mentioning that if I do get into the target aliasing window with the intent of using an alternative surface, the corridor I want doesn't show up, but another attached corridor does.
To explore further I tried creating a bogus alignment and corridor in the same file as the corridor I want to reference. It works fine in that file. It still doesn't work in the other file where this corridor is attached as a reference.
