Hide alignment but show labels

Create alignment entities on C-ALGN.

 

Don’t freeze or turn off the object layer – FREEZE (not turn off) C-ALGN, and no lines or curves from alignment will show.

 

You have to have the alignment on in order for the labels to show.

 

By freezing the entity layer, the alignment is still considered “on”.

 

 

Adjust Tool Tip Display

Via right click on the entity (grading, alignment, surface) category under the tool prospector.  Adjust under tool tip display setting (yes/no).

 

 

How to hide alignment but keep labels

Turn off the layer that the alignment entities are on (….C-ALGN),

But NOT the layer that the alignment is on (C-ALGN-****).

 

Have the labels on a layer separate from the alignment entities (arrows, etc) and put on C-ALGN-TEXT.

CREATING TESSELATED 3DPOLYLINES

Create an arc based feature line using desired elevations. Explode the feature line for a tessellated 3d polyline. Weed the polyline to get rid of undesired excess vertices.

DELETE EXCESS PROFILE VIEWS THROUGH THE PROSPECTOR

 

YOU HAVE TO DELETE THEM UNDER ALIGNMENTS > PROFILES IN THE PROSPECTOR – CANNOT DO IT UNDER THE CREATE PROFILE DIALOG BOX

 

converting splines

Use express tools flatten command to convert to 2d polyline.

Hide Contours

Hide contours by using surface boundaries (hide/create breakline).
