Hey Paul, thanks for the response, I don't seem to have that option in v15 C1N.

Does it come with a later version?

Thanks

Hi Alan

This option was introduced in 15.0C1p.

Are you wanting to extend the pavement layer to the batter slope like in a rural section?

Hi yes I am wanting to do this!

I'm trying to use the new snippets and pavement manager without any luck, is there a guide/help/video that covers this?

Thanks

Hi Leigh

This course covers this.
https://www.civilandsurveying.com/spot- ... -pavements

TRI_PAVEMENT_NEW_FROM_ATTRS_SG.mtfsnippet will do what you are after.
Have you created a Named Grade for the batter?

For a few versions now, we only use Fixed links in the MTF. No Cut, Fill or Final links.

The reason it probably wasn't working for you originally, is because you may have been using the template interfacing.

The Design Features course is the one to do if you want to catch up on all the new design methods and features.
