you could just create a roadway object with the chain and profile from cogo. then, add elements to the object with the section tab of the add elements tool
i could but my understanding is that the roadway tool was established to do all that in less steps.
yes, it is. you need to understand the basics of Site Modeler and would benefit from some training. please check out our courses at the Bentley Institute online.
I agree and have been working through some basics of Site Modeler. I'd like to think we have enough basic understanding of some of the Site Modeler tools, enough to develop a model, add objects and modify the tin. The Bentley Institute courses are expensive and lack information specific to our version of powercivil. Also, I find the menus and user interface in powercivil convoluted. We're beginning to look into migrating to another version or toward inRoads.
