Hi all,
Could OpenRoads technology model the Pile-sheet retaining wall? if so, please tell us how to do?
The top of pile-sheet retaining wall is aligned to the terrain.
thanks, and looking forawrd to your reply!

There are some templates for retaining walls within our delivered ITL sample files. I would look at some of those to see if you can apply the retaining wall templates to build 3D components via the Linear Templates or Corridor creation.

Thanks! but What I need is not the same as the general retaining( delivered ITL sample files.), the Pile-Sheet Retaining wall has 2 different sections along aligment( the direction of road), which is indicated in the photo above. so , the simple template can not do that.
Of course, you can create many different corridors to meet the different sections of Pile-Sheet Retaining wall along aligment. but, it is still not what I need, it has not efficience.
I wonder if you might be able to develop something using a Horizontal Feature Constraint to vary the width of the wall? You would need to create some geometry to mark where that occurs (the wider portions of the wall).

Thanks for your reply. I have tried the Horizontal Feature Constraint or Point Control to create the variation of Pile-Sheet Retaining, but it is not efficient, and the key part of Pile-Sheet Retaining is based on template interval., to make model enough precise, the template interval has to be 0.1m, which will make the model prolix! see the picture below.
If there some parameters of corridor to control the templates instantiation along the alignment, at least, one parameter controls the length of instantiation along the alignment, the other will control the interval of instantiation. Then the Pile-Sheet Retaining or somethings like this will be created automatically and efficiently.
That is true, you will need a very tight spacing or will need key stations on either side of where the width transitions. Your use case here really intrigues me. If you eventually come to a solution I would love to see what that looks like. You might be able to treat the wall as it's own alignment following the variable side, i am not completely sure what that looks like, so I'll give it a little more thought.
