ORD - Show existing pavement in XS

This seems like this should be simple, but I can't figure it out.  In GEOPAK SS2 is use Roadway Designer to model the proposed design, and I actually used an old criteria file that used the Draw Trace command to show existing pavement 3" below the existing ground between existing EOP elements found in a separate dgn.

How can I do this in ORD?

  • Let me rephrase my question.  After reading it today I see that it wasn't very clear.

    How do I model existing pavement in ORD 2020 R2?

    Similarly, how do I show cells in cross-sections to indicate bldgs, ROW, fences, etc. in ORD.  In SS2 I used Draw Ancillary Features to accomplish this.

    In Power Geopak SS2 I used an old criteria file to draw existing pavement onto cross-sections.  It used the Draw Trace command to draw existing pavement 3" below the existing ground using existing EOP elements found in a separate dgn file as the LT/RT edges of existing pavement.  Our agency deducts the volume of pavement removal from the excavation volume since we pay for pavement removal on a "per SY" basis.  We don't want to pay for it twice.

    This image shows one of my SS2 cross-sections.

  • I saw a video where they added a milling and overlay component and point controls to tie it to existing pavement edges. Unfortunately, I do not recall the location or any link. But if you use Google you might find it.
