TC profile to C&G subassembly

[om_gc]

I have a TC (face of curb) profile. I would like apply the TC profile to my C&G subassembly. How do I do that? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You mean you want to create a corridor?

[om_gc]

Yes. To build corridor.. What might be th best way

[troma]

Are you asking how to build a corridor in general or is there something specific about this one that is causing problems?
If you're just starting out you should read up a bit:

I wanted to apply the curb profile to the C&G subassembly to build corridor.

[troma]

and where are you finding a problem?

[om_gc]

The problem is the C&G subassembly does not have any targets (Profile and alignment).

Use one of the "Generic Link Sub Assemblies to set the TOC location and then attach a C&G SA to that. You could then build the lane from the inside of the curb back to the centerline.

Thanks peter,

A typical layout would help greatly.

Here's the Layout below:

Peter,

We need to be able to do this in a straight forward fashion.

We need one (1) subassembly that is an amalgamation of the Lane AOR and the UrbanGutter subassemblies. The user would have options to Target either the Top Back of Curb, Gutter Flowline or ETW. The Lane slope would then be directly driven as a function of either of those Profiles.

Many users want to Target the Gutter Flowline.

The lane portion would still have all the superelevation capability of LaneAOR.

I second what Fred Ernst said. In urban work our surveyors need to know where the proposed gutter flowline will be, and our traffic engineers want to set a certain lane width.
I've made the mistake a few times now of using an alignment to set the lane width, then forgetting about the extra width that the gutter pan will add.

One assembly that combines both lane & curb-and-gutter with flexible targetting will fix that and save potentially time consuming, costly mistakes.
