Profile elevation lines not showing?

[Dan Johnson]

So I have two road profiles. The elevation lines along with the station lines show up in model and paper space just fine but when i plot one of the profiles will only plot with the elevation lines for the upper half of the profile and not the whole profile. Has anyone had this happen to them before?

 

I'm using 2012 Civil 3D FYI.

Could you explain a little more please? Is this plotting from the layout tab with viewports for each profile? Is it just a portion of one viewport not plotting, like the view in the viewport is being cut in half? I have had in the past a file in which a portion of the viewport decided it wasn't going to plot...I made a new viewport and it was ok. I'm not sure if that is your issue though. If it's just half of one profile not plotting, I would assume it's not a layer issue. A little more detail of your procedure will probably get some of the guru's in here to help.

rickh-

 

I have two seperate profiles and each have their own layout tab (sheet) and each has only one viewport. On sheet A, everything looks and plots great. On sheet B it looks great, but won't plot all the background elevation lines. It stops after 30' from the top and my entire height of my profile is 85'. So I'm missing most of bottom elevation background lines. I hope that makes sense...?

That sounds very odd. Can you try recreating the issue....does making a new viewport fix it...try to view it and plot from the 'good' viewport on sheet A. I would try that and even try just plotting it from model space with a window. I'm just trying to see if those lines will plot at all under different circumstances.

 

Also, you can try running through the profile view style and change it up to something different. It is wierd and all I can really do here is take guesses at troubleshooting. I hope something will make it work. I'm guessing the drawing is probably too large to attach in the forum? Repost after you try some of these steps if it still doesn't work. At least we will weed out a few theories.....
