When Corridor Modeling and showing cross-sections I was having the issue of a certain surface feature always drawing on the active level rather than the level that it was supposed to as defined by an Element Template. This is supposedly happening because I renamed a Feature Definition (to be more meaningful in accordance with our office standards). The following advice came from GEOPAK Support.
"We have found that when a surface feature item is renamed then the corridor component creation is sent to the default or active level. However, if the item is deleted and recreated with a new name then the corridor component creation will be correct. This is only the case when renaming surface features. We tested renaming the linear features and all works well."
I deleted the “faulty” feature definition in the dgnlib and created a new feature definition with the desired name. I then deleted the in-dgn (3578_corridor.dgn) feature definitions so that it would re-copy the dgnlib feature definitions instead. I then re-processed the corridor, and in the xs view the Road Base layer immediately updated to the correct symbology. I then did a file Save Settings. HOWEVER, upon exiting and re-entering the file, the symbology reverted back to default (my active level). Also, when cutting XS cells from this model, the symbology is on the default (active) level.
Has anyone experienced this behavior, and has anyone found a solution?
