Label widths of roadway

[neilyj666]

I'm working on a windfarm access road with tight bends that need to be 2.5m wider than the straights. I have created offset alignents and the corridor with no problem but how can I label the widths to show the variation in width at the various locations. The road is at the full width (7.5m) between tangent points and then tapers to the standard width of 5m

I have shown simple aligned dimensions on the screenshot but I'm sure there will be a way to do this automatically - won't there?

I have not done anything like this but I am wondering if you can have alignments on both sides and report in a label the offset form on alignment to the other or an expression to double the offset from a centerline...

[neilyj666]

I'll look at expressions but although the widening isn't symetrical about the centreline (it's 2.5m each side and an additional 2.5m at bends)

I'd normally just use a dimension but this is a work in progress and I'm still grip editing it around to get a decent layout

Is you dimension style associative? I don't know if it woks with c3d object it does with plain acad lines and curves. I wonder if that could be put in a corridor style

I had a couple of minutes to look at this. There has to be a way to get the line to goo across the street and get two arrow blocks lined up similar to a profile VC label.

Don't think annotative works with Civil objects unfortunately

[Joe-Bouza]

You meant associative, right?

[neilyj666]

Ooops... senior moment...yes associative

Funny my minds eye pictures you as a youngin.

I just check: no association to c3d objects
