Hi Daniel, I looked into the issue and found it was a defect specific to Civil 3D 2006. Civil 3D 2007 and newer export vertical alignment geometry in the proper order.

Sorry if this doesn't concern everybody, but I don't know where else to ask. I've just received some files that were generated by Autodesk Civil 3D 2006. They contain profiles where the PVI elements are non-sequential. Here's what it looks like: <ProfAlign name="Etapp 2-2"> <PVI>29000. 162.48</PVI> <PVI>38061.29 159.9</PVI> <ParaCurve length="4.">29015. 162.48</ParaCurve> <ParaCurve length="4.">29055. 161.88</ParaCurve> ... <ParaCurve length="4.">38005. 155.15525022</ParaCurve> <ParaCurve length="4.">38025. 156.75525022</ParaCurve> <CircCurve length="5.85067995" radius="60.">29710. 156.282</CircCurve> <CircCurve length="6.81059805" radius="60.">29717. 155.484</CircCurve> <CircCurve length="8.16914443" radius="60.">29729. 155.484</CircCurve> ... <CircCurve length="4.07372875" radius="60.">36922.99986405 144.10025022</CircCurve> <CircCurve length="4.42312993" radius="60.">37965. 150.80525022</CircCurve> <CircCurve length="7.37189291" radius="60.">38055. 158.7049</CircCurve> </ProfAlign> So, first comes all the PVIs, then the ParaCurves, then the CircCurves. BTW, this is a 1.0 document. According to the 1.0 specification, the PVI elements should come in sequence. The above looks like a program bug to me. Can somebody confirm this? Thanks in advance!
