Angled parking bays on corridor

[clebba]

can anyone offer me som insite into adding parking bays to a a road corridor.? in the image attched, there is a "return" that i have circled. I can get most of the bay to model, but cannot figure out how thto do this return. pardon my being vague with the verbal info, i will let the picture do that talking and fill in any additional info as needed.

Those types of scenarios are a problem for corridor modeling since they are x-section based. Each of the ways I know of require too much set up and complexity to overcome the overlapping section behavior to be practical.

I think you'll find it easiest to use gradings. Of course they don't show any subgrade layers in your sections.

I've worked on a project that had identical parking stalls and gave up trying to solve it using corridors. I'm not saying there isn't an efficient solution though.

I'm going to have a project that needs that exact same senario as you. I have been struggling to figure out how to do it, but decided to wait until I need to do the design to figure it out. 

I wonder if it'd be worth it to make it two baselines. Use one that's the drive isle/road and another that is based on the outside edge of the parking area. On the area where the angle protrudes out (as in the end of your parking area), the 2nd baseline could stretch to the edge that protrudes out. The other end (the beginning in your drawing) could just start at the parking edge and stretch to the edge of the drive isle/road. 

Or I could be way off.

Hi,

If you use the edge of parking bay as a baseline, how would you handle the diagonal that backtracks against the baseline at the protruding corner? You'll need to run a template along that edge to model the curb and daylighting.

If that chamfered corner is suppose to be 90degs I think you just may need to add a section at the corner and another one just slightly past it.

I suppose If you are really set on not using featurelines you could use another baseline in the main corridor with a marked point assembly and generic links for kerb etc, using a dummy corridor surface for profile but to be honest I'd just use a feature line.

Thus my comment:

I agree. it would be nice to be able to efficiently run this as a corridor as i will have many of them to do on this project. But i think I will just use featurelines and grading  and live without having the assemblies in those areas. No sense in spending dollars to make nickles.
