Create Connected Alignment parameters when....

Anyone ever successfully create a connected alignment with this kind of Kerb Return? I have cycled through the Curve Group Type options, and none seem to even attempt this curve. I can get an easy Circular Fillet Type but that's it. There are so many options in the Spiral parameters>Spiral type I could be all day. Figured I could just toss this here for an answer.

Hello,

not really sure, what result you need.

I had som problems with the overlap length. If the alignment not long enough, it does not work.

Best regards

What Result I need is a connected alignment that follows this curve EOA. I'm thinking this morning that I'll create a simple curve radius connected alignment THEN edit it to add curves as needed to replicate the path. Next will be to profile it and generate the design profile close to that. 

There has to be an easy way to get a connected alignment to make this path within the parameters. Looks like I'll need several hours of trial and error to see what I can come up with as we typically have lots of Kerb-Returns like this.

Hello,

for these combination you can use a connected alignment with a single curve and a widening on the secondary side.

Directly with connected alignment is by knowledge not possible.

Thank you but with all the available parameters in the connected alignment under curve types there must be a way to make this path alignment. See my first attached pic under curve group type(s). I just don't know how to make it work
