Civil Cell Elevation Issues

Ruben Alfaro — Wed, 29 Jun 2016 22:14:27 GMT

When I made the new civil cell for the project I am working on, I set the elevation of the match line of the horizontal to 4' elevation just for the sake of its creation.And now, when I try to place the civil cell, it wants to end at the 4' elevation and not at the terrain model elevation as I intend it to. How do I make the cell level with the terrain?

I hope somebody can help me with this!

Thanks!

We are currently having a problem with Driveways and template transitions , mainly in the areas of driveway flares. To give some background, I have tried building this with a civil cell, but I cannot use the temporary measurement tool on this cell in the cross section viewer. When doing profile adjustments, it would be nice to see the slope of the entrance right away in the same place as checking the rest of the cross section elements. So if I could keep the driveway end conditions in the template that would allow for everything to be in the same area when checking slopes.

The template I am using is to below. I have tried it in 3 different ways with none of which resulting in being able to create a correct transition between template drops. I have a template drop that ends at the top of the driveway flare and a template drop that begins at the bottom of the flare. My hope was to create a transition in between so I could connect the elements myself and draw in a transition that would be sufficient for cross section work. The template drops and transition are shown below.

The three different ways I created the template without success were as follows:

1. Using target aliasing and end conditions. In this template build I set the curb surface for the driveway to be an end condition that would draw if the back of entrance line was found. It would then draw the curb and entrance pavement. For the normal curb, I had the end condition find the back of curb line but set this as a priority of 2. The transition between the sections is shown below.

2. Using feature definitions, an end condition, and display rules. In this template build I used an end condition at the left EOP to search out and look for the back of entrance. I then used this as my display rule to trigger which curb was being drawn. The curb would then be the parent to everything drawn from them which was done using horizontal feature constraints for both the entrance and the sidewalk. The tie-in for behind the sidewalk was an end condition. Once the templates were synchronized and a new transition placed, the edit screen looked like the following. As you can see, the transition tool did not allow me to connect the templates that were actually placed in the corridor. It allowed me to connect the condition that was turned on in the actual template library.

3. Using feature definitions, an end condition, and display rules. In this template build I used an end condition at the left EOP to search out and look for the back of entrance. I then used this as the parent to the depressed driveway curb. I then used the driveway curb as my display rule to trigger if the full height curb would be drawn. The curbs would then be the parent to everything drawn from them which was done using horizontal feature constraints for both the entrance and the sidewalk. The tie-in for behind the sidewalk was an end condition. Once the templates were synchronized and a new transition placed, the edit screen looked like the following.

How do I display a feature in a profile that isn't crossing but projected?

Thanks

I am a new user to Open Roads. I really see the potential in the new software and am doing a lot of reseach on my own as to how this all works. I am attempting to design an intersection with bump-outs, handicap ramps and sidewalk on both sides. As shown by the picture below.

What is the best way to achieve this goal?

Build a Intersection Civil Cell that includes the bump out, ramp and the sidewalk? I have several of these intersections to build as well. Every example that I see on Bentleys web site or You Tube have the sidewalk parallel to the radius of the curb. I have to keep both the ML sidewalk and the Intersection Rd sidewalk parallel to the centerline of each. I can think of different ways to achieve the desired results in SS2, but was looking for some guidance on the SS4 method.

Thanks
