Creating Subassemblies from polylines

I can create a subassembly for each layer of my pavement structure but
how I combine them so they are one subassembly like the subassemblies
shipped with Civil 3D.

I think you have to do that n VBA. Ic ould very well be wrong though.

It is possible to define your own subassembly from a polyline, if that's
what you meant. If you meant that you want to combine several "BasicLane"
subassemblies into one subassembly with editable pavement depths, then you
will need to do this with VBA. Check to see if there is an existing
subassembly that looks like you want it to. Some of the more advanced
Roadway subassemblies (such as the superelevation subassemblies) allow you
to specify multiple pavement depths. With the more advanced templates, if
you don't provide certain optional parameters, the default behavior is
sufficient in many cases.

If you want to create a simple subassembly using a polyline, the size and
shape are fixed and constant (ie: if you want to modify one of the
dimensions, you have to redraw the polyline). Check out Corridors->Create
subassembly from polyline. The process is a little tricky at first, but
it's easy once you get the hang of it.

Thanks for the input Guys, but the stock subassemblies are not quite going to
handle my requirements. Specifically the ShoulderExtendedSubbase, I would
like it to do the following (see attachment).

I Guess I may have to learn Visual Basic, unless someone would like to help
me out?? ;-}

In land/civil i am able to define new templates with control point, Superelevation, transition points, etc. In Civil3d2006 exists a options to create subassembly from a polyline. In this option is not possible to define transition points/ superelevations parameters, etc and the sections don´t update dynamic.
I think with a tool that permit create my own subassembly like land/civil is useful. I would like to know if Autodesk will develop a template editor to creat subassembly without going through VBA codes??

Thanks

Joao

Thanks, Joao
