ORD - Annotate superelevation in plan?

Hi, is ther a way to annotate the superelevation in plan?  mainly superelevation cross slope variation.  We have the colored band but I would like to show the crossslope more preciseley.  I know the superelevation section can have a linear feature definition and symbology but how can I annotate it?  I can't figure out, anybody have a lead on this?

thanks

  • Ok I have found a way to do this: you make a report of your superelevation section, it will generate a series of points with station, description and offset.  The station will be your superelevation point, the offset will be your lane width and the description the slope of your point.  The trick is to have a report that will give you negative value of your lane width  for left and positive for right.  But I give you the report for that!

    You then import those point as geometry point and then annotate them (make an anotation group that display point name and description)  Here is the xsl report for doing this.

    For existing cross slope (or proposed) the best I have found is to use generative component, you place points evenly on both side of you roads, draw a line between thoses points, place a text with the slope value of this line.

    the only sad thing is that you can't rotate the annotation base on your alignement.
