As part of the engineering drawings I need to create embankment lines (some times called piano lines or frog lines). How do I do this via the templates in open Roads.
this is what they should look like for cut and fill:
HI Martin
Can you just let us know which native civil product you are using Inroads, MX or Geopak
Thanks

Simon beat me to asking which native product you are using, but I wanted to go ahead and give you an answer if working with InRoads. There is a tool under the native commands (Drafting > Draw Slope Direction Pattern) which will give this graphical output.

Unknown said: Hi Derek, Thanks for the response. Your answer does not detail how to do this. Furthermore the other issue is we use the PowerCivil Geopak suite, not straight Geopak. So in PowerCivil SS2 Geopak it has these tools and you can create the embankment lines called "Slope Indicators with type lines". These Slope Indicators are generated when you create any object/roadway. In SS3 & SS4 this is non-existent. Any further help would be appreciated. Martin

Hi Martin, Any feedback on your problem? I'm sure their is a certain script floating around that might assist with this.... Would prefer not to have to export back to native especially since the models change daily and would require lots of drafting input.
