Defining existing topsoil layer.

Gatis Gac — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 12:36:57 GMT

Hi!

I'm working as Road Designer in PowerCivil.

Would anyone help me with how to define existing top soil layer (usually in different thickness throughout along the road) so I can see it when suraface is created?

Thanks.

Powercivil Cross Section view is empty

Gatis Gac — Thu, 23 Dec 2021 08:44:04 GMT

Hi.

I'm using PowerCivil.

Whenever I try to open Cross Section view to see pavements location at different stations, the chosen window is empty. And it doesn't matter whether I choose Corridors or Alignment to create cross sections.

Is there anything I'm missing in preferences or somewhere else?

Thank You.

Cross section hatch

Gatis Gac — Wed, 10 Nov 2021 11:00:41 GMT

Hi.

I would really appreciate if anyone would help, maybe, on minore issue.

I'm using PowerCivil.

Is there any way I can create a typicall cross section for my alignment and hatch it's layers with the hatch I need (it is possible that the hatch could be a simply flooded one colour), and later when uzsing "Create cross section" the report give me the cross sections at different stations with the hatch I"ve defined.

Thanks.

Cross-section annotation

Gatis Gac — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 09:59:42 GMT

Hi.

I'm using PowerCivil.

After creating cross-section at different chainage points, I need to annotate them as in the sketch below: in points, marked with red arrows, I need to specify point's distance from the central axis and the elevation. I also need to define the cross-slope on the driving lines. Is this something I can easily manage and define?

Thanks.

Template creation

Gatis Gac — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 08:45:32 GMT

Hi.

I'm using PowerCivil.

Here is the issue. As in the sketch below - black and red are two superelevation cases - normal and elevated. When elevated (in red), I want section 2' to be the same slope as section "2" and stop at he ditche's outer slope. I surely know how to do this in case 1' follows section "1", but don't know how to do this for the elevation stage.

Woukd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

Template creation for superelevation

Gatis Gac — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 15:28:15 GMT

Hi.

I'm unable to find a topic on following issue, which seems to be quite easy, but...I'm designing in OpenRoads and in template there is a simple gravel layer - 20 cm high with rooftop type crosslopes - 4% each. As I create the superelevation, for example, for surface left edge, to elevate and in full superelevation I have onesided crosslope (4%), the left side's subrgade line still is rooftop type - 4% each. How do I make the subgrade line to follow surfaces left edge? I would like it to follow as red line in the sketch.

Thanks.

Vertical alignment editing

Gatis Gac — Mon, 11 Oct 2021 17:10:37 GMT

Hi.

I'm using PowerCivil.

Is it possible to switch off automatic corridor updating while editing vertical alignment? I mean - I have tons of superelevation sections and point controls, which slows down me every time I move vertical alignment's vertexes.

Thanks.

Created region measurement

Gatis Gac — Tue, 05 Oct 2021 13:14:13 GMT

Hi.

I'm using PowerCivil.

Is it possible somehow to create a region inside any shape (let's say - color green few square objects) so the green color's level is, for example, "Green_area" and later I can giglight (choose) all the green squares by the level and measure it's area with function "D-5 Measurea area"? I mean - so I don; t have to measure each square seperately. For now, when I crate the region, I can measure it's area when it is inside the shape, if I turn off shape's level. I can't measure area not even for single square.

Thanks.

Insert independent line in coss section

Gatis Gac — Mon, 04 Oct 2021 07:47:00 GMT

Hi.

I'm using PowerCivil.

How can I insert independetn line in cross section, I mean - I need a vertical line (no matter what the "h" is), which consists of two defined points, where bottom point follows (defined in point control) to linear geometry in the drawing and the upper point follows with "horizontal" offest of the bottom point with value "0". So in cross section I would see the vertical line, which's bottom point moves regarding to the defined horizontal line in the drawing.

Thanks.

CrossSection view issue

Gatis Gac — Fri, 01 Oct 2021 10:19:43 GMT

Hi.

I'm using PowerCivil software. When I create horizontal alignment, template, vertical alignment and corridor, whenever I open CrossSection view, I'm unable to see any lines that would see me the existing relief line and crosssection's lines. Though, when I create Cross Sections by stations, it gives me output data with visible lines. What could be the issue here?

Thanks.
