Good morning, everyone! So glad it's Friday!

I have a question about Offset HALs in Terramodel. I've recently learned out to use the offset HALs in a situation where my main HAL is down the center of a divided highway but my PGL's are offset on both sides of it. The problem is that it doesn't seem to be acting right after an area where there is a station equation. Can someone help with this? Do the offset HALs take into consideration the station equations on the HAL that they are offset from?

Any help is appreciated.

I will just make a new road job at the station equation. I didn't have to hope I set it up correctly.

I would think they would, but don't know that I've ever tried it. What do you mean by not acting right?

Desirea,

If you would like to send us your file (support@geocomp.com.au) with a bit of a detailed description of the problem I will put it through our Support Services.

Regards,
Jerry

I have a station equation on my main HAL of Bk 625+00 and Ahd 625+81.89. I have the VAL drawn in correctly with a horizontal segment drawn in between those 2 stations. If I hover over my VAL at station 627+00 I get the right elevation of 1263.50.

I have an offset hal 30' Left of my main HAL. For some reason that roadway is ignoring the station equation (even if I add a sta equ to the offset HAL). When I check the cross section editor I get an elevation of 1262.60. This just happens to be the elevation of my VAL 81.89' back. It just seems to be ignoring the equation. I've done everything I can think of to fix it with no luck.
