PowerGeopak SS4 with ORD tech: I want to show and existing sidewalk/driveway/parking lot along a roadway in cross-section. The driveways/sidewalk are not perpendicular to the road and are independent of the road. Some driveways/sidewalk turn on themselves in a serpentine fashion when viewed from the road. I have not been able to determined how to get these to appear in the cross-section using templates using PowerGeopak SS4 with ORD tech. Any suggestion on how to approach this?.
So the civil cell I mentioned is just what you have done. I don't use a civil cell from the ORD installation, I make my own. Not that I don't trust anyone else but...well...actually, that is the case. I don't trust anyone else. :-)
You don't need to muck about in DGNLIB files or anything, just make it right in your project. Using the first driveway, design it long hand as per the steps Chuck describes. Then make a civil cell from this first driveway and plop it onto all the rest of the driveways.

Thanks Robert. I didn't use a Civil Cell though. I simply profiled all the lines of the PCC portion of the entrance, then created a terrain of the PCC, then applied a surface template to the terrain, then applied a linear template to each side of the entrance. As you know though, I am fairly new to ORD. I haven't tried creating any Civil Cells yet.
I have been using the same method for ADA ramps and have been very happy with the results. See attached.
For the existing entrance, I created a Clipped Terrain of the existing PCC. I then applied a surface template to it to show the thickness.
