When we cut cross sections, our existing ground is missing. The dynamic views clearly shows it - and it is coming from a Reference Model.
Our corridor had no problem targeting it in this manner.
Also, when we get to the General leaf of the Create Cross Section tool, not all 8 views can be selected to make the drawing models - and as mentioned in the subject line, the Help is still refering to Ss2 and Earlier workflows (Surface Properties - Advanced to control surface display). - Follow-up: This is what the help tells you if you open it from the dialog box.
In the Help from the Task menu, it makes the following seemingly contradictory statements:
A cross section is a two-dimensional window of graphics representing a planar section of a three-dimensional (3-D) model. Typically, the 3-D objects displayed in cross section are terrain models and objects such as the existing terrain or a proposed road. The graphics showing a terrain model in a cross section is a cross section surface.
Two paragraphs later, it states this:
When you create one or more cross sections, you choose which surfaces to display. Each cross section displays the selected surfaces as they pass through the window. Each surface is represented in the cross section by a data line known as a cross section surface.
This wording seems to indicate there is still some sort of Surface Selection process as opposed to a section simply cutting whatever is seen in a certain view.
Our Dynamic Section view is 5 but the view list in the dialog box is missing 5. And once the section is cut, there seems to be no way to add other graphics into a set.
What are we missing here?
