Road Marking

[Anonymous]

Hello All.. I have one question. Is it possible to make horizontal road marking in CIVIL 3D 2013?

Yes.

If you are now going to ask, "How?" please provide details about your project. Are you trying to make these marks along a Civil 3D Alignment object, along a polyline, or along some other object?

Along an alignment, you can accomplish this using Major Station Labels (or Minor Station Labels.)

I've done this with success, but can get gnarly on short jobs where dashes go to solid and solids go to dotted. Well worth the time investment when the alignment changes so does the striping plan.

i have civil 3D corridor  for main road and roundabout. is it possible to add corridos horizontal marking lines, arrows and "zebra"?

Mziani,

What's a "Zebra"? As for Marking Lines and Arrows, couldn't you use Blocks for that?

yes,i use blocks but it need a lot time to make manual..  so..there is not way,to make road marking in Civil 3D

Mziani,

Nothing I know of, special to Alignments or Corridors. But once you make a Block, you can store it and bring it up anytime with Design Center. You could even make a custom Dynamic Block, with stretch and rotate, for the lines.

I'd still like to know what a "Zebra" is.

Mziani,

Like this?

exactly...

We use "Zebra Stripes" to refer to any repeated parallel striping pattern.

Hi Dave

For 10-30 dashed lines you can make a make a block of the 10 foot dash, setup am major station style that uses the block for major stations (stations = false) and set the interval to 30 and the range desired, and you will get a 10 foo solid line every 30 feet. add another instance of the style interval every 10 feet as you approach the intersection to get X feet of solid stripes. you can do the same for the edge lines. And a smaller block for the 2-4 or 2- 6 pending on your locale

for the "zebra" or in the MUTCD vernacular "Chevron" I make a giant block of 45 degree chevron locate it , and bpoly the enclosure and xclip the block to fit in the enclosure. of courec the bullnose of the enclosure has to be done manually.

this is all fun and doable but can be a lot to manage. I do do the layout with offset alignments and widenings, but mostly resort to having the dafter copy into plines and linetypes for the deliverable. maintaing the offsets is a good check in the end.

P.S. I copied some smily's but dont get the animation?

HCG,

"...I make a giant block of 45 degree chevron locate it , and bpoly the enclosure and xclip the block to fit in the enclosure."

That sounds like a good way.

Make sure your Smileys have the GIF ending. There's a wealth of them out there. I went on a "Smiley Hunt" and have a couple dozen of them ready to use.
