Need Named Boundaries or Multi-Point Cross Sections that can turn for secondary alignments

Currently, when secondary alignments are used, the cross sections are always based perpendicular to the primary alignment. We need the ability for named boundaries (or some other means of creating multi-point cross sections) to understand when secondary alignments are used, so that the cross sections are drawn and annotated perpendicular to that secondary alignment, if applicable. While the model is technically correct, our agency typically displays our cross sections like this. I've provided more details in a reply below, along with a screen shot. Thanks!

    I think you need multi point (>2 points) cross sections to be available in order for the idea explained above to work . InRoads could do this operation. Which was the Import sections from graphics command. Cross sections could be drawn at multiple angles and points then imported. This was a great tool not just for annotation but for design. I think your idea may get more votes if you change the title of the idea to multiple point cross sections or cross sections by graphics or cross sections by multiple alignments.
