    Corridor Surfaces & Superelevation

    I have an alignement to which I have applied superelevation.

     

    The superevation has been applied and the alignment has been annotation and it shows the change from camber to superelevation on  the curves.

     

    However when I create a surface of my corridor it does not show the superelevation, the surface is showing a cambered alignment throughout.

     

    Any suggestions?

     

    I have created a new alignment, a new corridor and surface and still the same.

    Have you chosen a lane subassembly that supports superelevation and set "Use superelevation" parameters within that subassembly?

    When creating the assembly I usually use crowned road and you can choose the slope (+ OR - 2% for me usually) or when choosing a lane you can also determine the slope.  So build the Assembly on one side and then copy it over. then when I create my surface using top links it usually shows the crowned road top along my alignment.

    Thats for this!

     

    I had chosed the UKIE Carriageway, which I presumed would be ok.


    When I check the settings box there was no option to change the working of the superelevation. There was one box that said superelevation with a number 6 after it. I presume this is a code.

     

    I started again with a new assembly.

     

    I used a standard DMRB template and adjusted it to suit my requirements, the carriageways on all these templates had the superelevation option which you showed.
