Profile by slope or variable slope - Does it retain all the profile vertical information

Without have to create and use civil cells all the time.  I find some instances it would be faster to just establish a centerline for a side road with a profile.  Usually my profiles have vertical curves.  I then use the horizontal single offset command to set my edge of pavements.  To project the centerline profile cross slope I will use the Profile Slope or Profile Variable Slope (ALL POINTS).  When I look at the vertical profile of the edge of pavement it appears it only picks up the verticies of the profile and not the smooth vertical curves.  If I apply a corridor template, I can control the intervals through the corridor and get the smoother profile for the finished surface.  Is there a way to get this precision with the Profile commands so I can then build my own terrain model and apply a 3D template.
