Hi all, this is the 1st superelevation I am doing and its a tricky one. The alignment is a diversion road between two points of an existing road and it starts with a +ve 3% super elevation and connects to the other end with same +ve 3% super and there is 2 opposing curves in between. 1st curve is at the begining of the alignment with SCS at 0 station up to station 123. and the 2nd curve is SCS starting at station 438 and runs till alignment finishes at 765. I tried dropping a 3% super template at the beginning but not sure how to create the superelevation from the table to achieve one single S.E on the whole alignment. The transition will be 3% to 5% at full super on 1st curve and drop it to -4% and continue with -4% till the 2nd curve and finish super at 3% at the end of alignment. Not sure how should I proceed. Any Help will be appreciated. thanks.

My suggestion would be to go through the Superelevation Wizard to generate the Superelevation control lines, then edit the control lines to insert and edit the points along the control line to adjust the station and rates. The control lines are assigned to the superelevated points through the point controls. Here is a video which is about 40 minutes that should help with the concepts of the superelevation. It will cover more material than you need but it should include a section on running the superelevation wizard and editing the superelevation control lines:
