OpenRoads Designer Trim parallel elements with arc.

Good day

Want to know what the best way is to trim two parallel Feature elements with an arc and trim both.

What tool can be used.

The nose of the arc needs to be at a specific station.

 

  • I would use the extend line to pull back the to red lines to an approximate location, do the first close to where you think, when doing the second use the end of the first line as a data point.  Then create your arc, you know the radius form the distance between the red lines.  Then use the align elements by edge to on the arc.  Then use the extend or trim tool on the two red lines.  This assumes all 4 lines are parallel.

  • Thank Lucas for coming back. What I am trying to achieve is to generate a flexible configuration where the rules stay in tacked at any condition. I started with the ideal condition where the offsets are parallel. After creating the rules, I need to edit the base geometry to any condition without losing the design intend. Hope the video provide more clarity.
