Thank you Justin, I believe with what you said is enough to get me going. We will most likely be in contact in the near future.

Hi Josue,

There are a ton of factors that go into the design of M&O projects, such as your proposed profile, proposed pavement depth, cross slope correction, potential widenings, etc. Based on the screenshots you have shown, you have your proposed pavement as your backbone with your milling component and a leveling course at the bottom. As far as the M&O components themselves, they will generate meshes for you related to the milling and the leveling. So placing them relative to your proposed pavement section is correct. In order for you to get your proposed pavement structure above EG, the profile needs to be above EG. You can use tools within ORD to help define that profile (noted below) or you can build a separate analytical template that evaluates those points and generates a PGL feature line that you could project into your BL for use as a profile.

There is a decent course on the learn server that covers M&O templates. Within that course it should introduce you to the overlay adjustment tools for developing profiles based on min/max milling/overlay.

I will keep an eye on this thread if you have additional questions. I think doing a quick skim through the course will help you a bunch.

Thanks,

Justin
