i thought it would just fillet the e/p with the radius i gave it

[Neilw_05]

I'm confused. Which lines are your edge of roadway, the white or the blue? What are the white lines?

[Anonymous]

THE WHITE LINES ARE THE ALIGNMENTS CRATED BY THE INTERSECTION WIZARD

[fcernst]

Did you send it? I'm back in the office, but I don't see anything.

I DONT HAVE THAT FILE ANYMORE I JUST MADE BOTH ROAD THE SAME WIDTH SORRY

[fcernst]

You can still send what you have now, and I will make the intersection with the two original desired road widths for your reference.

Is the shoulder on the back side of your assembly? The widths do not match

I HAVE A PAVEMENT THEN SOULDER AND THEN HAVE THE CUT FILL DITCH

[Neilw_05]

I think your terminology is confusing me and others. You keep saying the edge of pavements do not match. You say the white lines are the edge of pavement. So the white lines in your screen capture all match. The intersection wizard has matched the white edges of pavement. That is how it is designed to work.

What does not match are the blue lines. I believe the blue lines represent the shoulders. Is that correct? I so then please make that clear when describing the linework as it defintely affects the diagnosis.

[Joe-Bouza]

Right! And is the blue line the outer most edge of your shoulder? Because the image you are showing indicate the distance from the AOR sub an the blue line is greater than the AOR to blue in the curb return assemblies.

you haven't answered a very important question show us your return assemblies. By the way we have all been through what you are struggling with and I can sense your frustration but the use of all caps in your post can be off-putting as shouting at us.

We are trying to help

i have moved on with this already and have changed it to make it work with both roads at the same width. i am so sorry i am just as confused why it did not work when i did it.

if i need it again i will come back to it and try it again maybe someone could show me how the asselblies are suppose to look if you have a road like mine

Keep in mind pictures would be helpful.

ok i will i tried to upload the dwg but it was to large

[Joe-Bouza]

screen grab Pictures of your assmbiles and plan would do

[fcernst]

That drawing you gave me had no shoulder subassemblies??? So I put some in and changed the dittch from Basic to DaylightBasin2.

Anyway both roads have the same shoulder widths and ditch widths, but different EOP widths. You can see how the Wizard lines them all up for you:

[Neilw_05]

So what were the mystery blue lines? Why were they different on the main road vs. the side road?

[fcernst]

We'll never know... The drawing he gave me was changed like he said. The one I got had no Shoulders on any of the assemblies.

Here's the curb return assembly for example in the drawing he gave me:

[Neilw_05]

I'll surmize that the original main road assembly and curb return assembly both had a shoulder width of "X" and the side road assembly had a shoulder width of "Y". This would account for the mismatching blue lines (shoulders).
