I'm using Power Geopak V8i SS10. Very new user.
I am attempting to model depressed approaches into my design and need some help. I've attached screenshots to aid.
I attempted to create a civil cell of the approach (a simple approach at that) and I could not get it to function properly. I attached the picture of the end goal, mind you, I am not even trying to model behind the back of walk. I was thinking rather than creating a civil cell as I have different approach widths to apply, can I create a template for the full size curb and one for the approach and then transition between then two? If so, how do I transition between two 3D linear template?
If this is highly discouraged, is there anyone out there that could break down an explanation on how to create this civil cell? I understand that all of it needs to be created with the correct relationships but that's where I am struggling. Especially using multiple reference alignments to adjust the width of the approach.
Please help and thank you!!

Also, here is a video on the OpenRoads wiki that walks through how to create a civil cell, just in case you need more background on creating that: https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/w/road_and_site_design__wiki/36543/video-create-driveway-civil-cell
Hi Kevin,
I have attached a DGN of a civil cell that I have built with the similar situation. The civil cell that was built only includes the drive--it does not include the retention curb. The curb and gutter gets included in the main corridor. You will have to add a constraint label to the curb and gutter template so that you can apply a parametric constraint to the corridor to modify the height.
For the retention curb, I have added some notes in the attached pdf that should help get you started.
