SAC : New limitation found. Points entered in Decision branches.

I entered a Decision.
False produced a new Point. True also produced a new point.
None of them was available when i tried to use them in a link at a following flowchart although they were both preview visible for their case to take place.

So Points entered by decision are not available for Links. And i guess that their properties (.x,.y,.offset,.elevation,.isValid) are also not available.

Civil 3D tip. Feature lines vs 3D polylines as corridor target lines

3D polylines can be used as corridor target lines.
Each one gets a name from Civil 3D and the user can not set it or change it.
But if you break it then both new parts keep the same name. And this is a problem when using them as targets.


The only workaround i found is to convert them to feature lines. Names are always unique even in case of breaking and can be set and changed by the user.
