Hi All,
So, this might sound complicated and it might be a dumb question but here it goes.
I am modeling a divided highway with a median swale, that eventually transitions to undivided. Right now I have a construction "baseline" alignment going down the middle which will dictate the horizontal and vertical of the highway on the construction plans, and also two separate alignments for left and right grade controls at the inside edge of travelway just for modeling purposes.
- The elevation of each grade control will follow the vertical profile of the construction baseline on the plans.
- Both grade controls are parallel to the centerline, but since the highway eventually transitions to undivided, I have to merge the grade controls into the baseline alignment; because of this I didn't use offset alignments in my current corridor. Instead, I currently have separate alignment/profile/assemblies for both grade controls.
- Superelevation pivot points are at the two grade controls, but does not affect the elevation of the grade controls themselves (they're always on a "flat 0% plane" with each other).
So pretty much, right now my corridor models each side of the highway as two separate roads with LinkWidthandSlope for the median between them. What I want to do is simplify my corridor and have a single profile, specifically the construction profile, control the vertical of each grade control in the corridor, but use separate superelevation for them since radii differs on the same turn.
Is there a way to do this? Is there an assembly I can attach to just the baseline alignment to build out both sides of the highway and utilizes separate superelevation profile/table for each side of the highway? Offset assemblies?
Thanks!
