Sub Assembly Targets

[StumpMasterFlex]

Hi I am just starting to use corridors and grading groups.  I made an assembly and want to create a dynamic feature line of the outer most left limit.  However when I try to create the feature lines only the crown, top of curb and back of curb are available to use as a feature line.  How do I set other parts of the assembly as targets?  It won't create a corridor surface of the left side beyond the sidewalk?

Please see attached.

If anyone knows a good training video to watch on this it would be appreciated.

Which subassembly did you place there?  If it is one that targets a surface (LinkSlopetoSurface or one of the daylight SAs for example) then you set the surfaces that each SA should target under the corridor properties.

The top button in this image will set allow you to set the targets for the entire corridor.  The second one (and subsequent ones) will allow you to set the targets per region (I only have one region in this example).

Thx for the starting point.  I will start researching it.

Do you know how to set the outside boulevard width to a feature line?  It allows me to set the others but not the outside boulevard.

I haven't used that SA.  But if it permits you to a feature to target a featureline or alignment then it'll be in that same "Target" dialog box.

If the SA allows the INSIDE to target a FL or Alignment, then I'd be surprised if it doesn't allow the outside to do so as well.

You need to add a subassembly which has a point code defined at that location. Using a MarkedPoint with a unique name will do the trick.

Does the generic subassembly.UrbanSidewalk not have a point code already defined at the location?  I acutally did a search neither Urban nor Basic Sidewalk subassemblies have codes at those points. 

So is it safe to say some of these assemblies don't have point codes at some locations?

I have only been able to surface up to the back of sidewalks and not the back of boulevard/property line.  I have to build a grading group to grade from back of sidewalk to back of boulevard/property line, even though the boulevard is present in my assembly.  Am I doing this right?

[StumpMasterFlex]

I attached the help file (see attached).  In it it shows the coding diagram and a table which explains which codes have points.  Does this mean P4 in the attached file does not have a code.  Is this correct?   And if so is there a way to a add a code to P4?

That is correct. As I mentioned, add a Marked Point to that location and you will then get a featureline created at the outer boulevard location.

[doni49]

That's the way I read that. Which explains why Jeff said to attach a marked point there. That's just a way to assign a name to the point.

It looks like the developer expected you to place another SA there which would already have a point defined.

Use the UrbanSidewalk subassembly from the Curbs tab of the Imperial or Metric subassembly collection.

[Jeff_M]

Tim, only the Sidewalk points are coded in that Sub, the OP wants a corridor featureline at the outside boulevard which is not possible without using another sub with a point code at that location.

[tcorey]

I was only addressing how to set an outside boulevard width and assumed he would use your suggestion to place a marked point there so he could create the feature line.

Thx.  Just learning these assemblies and corridors.  It's a little overwhelming.  Appreciate the help.

Thx for your help.
