Greetings-
I am running InRoads 8.09.03.06 with MicroStation 8.09.04.88.
I am currently modeling an interchange. I think I feel comfortable enough with the basics, but one task that has come to mind is when I get to bridges. My roadway will need to stop, and my dirt slope down to a catch point on my existing surface under the new bridge. Thing is, the feature representing the slope cath point will be perpendicular to my roadway centerline.
Is it possible to build this slope into my model using Roadway Designer? If so, what might anyone suggest as a "best workflow" for accomplishing something like this? The real trick will be having one corridor that begins, proceeds along on fill up to the start of a bridge, the dirt tapers off, as the bridge starts, then one gets far enough to where the bridge will end, the dirt tapers up, and the bridge ends and the ramp continues on fill.
Also, is it possible to build the bridge slopes and represent the bridge using components, without the need for a seperate surface? I know I can represent the bridge components in a seperate corridor and surface, if needed.
If push comes to shove, I can add the features for the bridge slopes in manually (i.e. wireframe) after Roadway Designer is done. But RD is a powerful enough tool that I am thinking I may not need to do that.
Any input is appreciated!
I think this discussion can help you with your bridge task.

carl bush:Please share any ideas on the skewed bridges...
Carl, more less - the same workflow. With the skewed bridges you have to know exact position for bridge slope! Without, it will be very difficult to model this:
+ add EC on bridge's slope template (on top) to find intersection point with a pavement (I do this even for perpendicular bridges) - EC (down) to existing ground - EC (up) to proposed road + find bridge slope line - should be perpendicular to side slope + use clipping to trim triangles automatically
Let me do example video on skewed 151 :)

Wow! Ask and you shall receive... very cool!
Piotr, thanks for posting these videos!
