ORD: attach a Multi-Line element to Complex Element (horizontal geometry)

In ORD we can create a Complex Element as it was an alignment.

Complex Element (Complex Geometry) has an Element Template as property.

We can add more properties to an Element Template but I haven´t seen Multi-Line style because that styles is for a particular type of object.


Maybe, then the solution is create a Multi-Line element and associate with an existing Complex element. (if I add more vertex or remove my Complex Element then the geometry of the Multi-Line updates automacally). The supposed "offset=0" of the Multi-Line element would be on the Complex Element.


In ORD we can create "Single Offset Entire Element", but I like multi-lines just for preview. e.g: width of the lane, width of the shoulder, width of the sidewalk...


I have seen this in Clip Toolsa software and Istram Ispol (quick way to draw several offsets) to have a quick preview of an alignment and its offsets just for horizontal geometry before studing if the alignment and its offsets are the appropiate for the project.

    Or another option would be a new tool: Create a Multi-Line element on the Complex element, as a tool in the "Horizontal" group of the ribbon.


    That new multi-line element would be linked dinamically with its parent Complex Element.
