Road Profile in Land Desktop 2009

Road Profile in Land Desktop 2009

(OP)
The company I work for just recently upgraded from Land Desktop 2000 to Civil 3D 2009.  It came with Land Desktop Companion 2009 and that is what we have been using until we make the full transition.  We are working on a highway and the Vertical Alignment Editor doesn't have AASHTO 2004, the most current is 2001.  Is there a way to import 2004 into the program?  It is faster to have Land Desktop to figure out the head light distance.  Thanks.

We use LD 2004. I'm assuming 09 is similar. I think there is a setting you can change for eye height and object height. I'm at home, so I don't know where to look, and it's probably been moved anyway. Best of luck.
