problem with generate longitudinal feature tool in v8i
(OP)
i am in the process of modeling a roundabout in inroads v8i ss1
I started with a circle (the inscribed diameter) that I draped over a surface. I then wanted to create an inner circle offset 30 ft and at a 2% slope. I used the generate longitudinal feature tool with the horizontal defined by "offset from primary feature" and the vertical defined by "transverse slope." After following the prompts, I was was prompted to identify the location. At this point I accepted the interior offset and nothing happened. I tried several times before going back to inroads 2004 and did the same process with no problem. after that, i tried offsetting a line...i was given a preview once again when I was prompted to identify the location, but no element was created when I accepted. what am i missing.

I just went over the workflow you posted and did not have any troubles I am using V8i SS1. Remember to "Right Click for Entire" to complete the inner circle.

The toggle Generate Graphics Only is probably checked on by accident. See image.
