Environmental Landscape Bunds

Hi, I have just completed the design of a Park and Ride with associated link roads. I now want to create environmental landscape bunds between the car park area and the new link road. I was wondering if anyone can offer advice on the quickest/easiest/best way of carrying out this operation. Any help will be appreciated.

  • Wonder if after all these years this tool is still being used when doing layout of the project.

  • Why not take the strings that represent the edges of the car park and the link road as the limits of the bund(s), and then just 'freehand' in the contours that you want for the bund(s) itself. The triangulation of the strings and contours will give you the bund surface. [As it is a landscaped surface, I am assuming it is nicely "flowing" in shape - not a sharply defined shape.]

  • You could try intersection of slopes tool. This option creates a string by calculating the intersection of two planes. Each plane can be defined by; two strings or one string and an angle of slope passing through it. Once the plane has been defined an offset can be applied to it before the position of the intersection and the new string is calculated. The offset can be defined as a difference in height (vertical offset) or a difference in thickness (normal offset).
