Grading Optimization - Pathway at radius

When using the pathway tool on a curb ramp at a radius. The ramp needs max cross slope of 2% and max travel way slope of 8.3%. If you use the short side of the ramp as the pathway you have a triangle left out and if you use the long side of the ramp for the pathway, you overshoot the radius.

How to work this?

Te explicamos como usar la herramientas "PATHWAYS", que ayuda a realizar nivelación de vialidades en Grading optimization 2023.1 Pathways are new objects that represent sidewalks, driveways, and other ingress and egress paths. #Gradingoptimization #proyectos #Infraestructura #BIM

Hi @clbears3510, it's not ideal, but I think I would use the short side and then draw a closed polyline for a zone in the missing triangle.  The way it's drawn it will impact the slopes in the road, but if you pull it back you'll still want a constraint on the missing triangle like you said. You may just need the extra zone, like I show in blue.  It's possible an Offset Points line like I show in red may be needed to constrain a max elevation difference to meet the max 8.3% slope. If you then turn Aligned Surface on for the zone I think you'll get I triangle maintaining the cross slope along the adjacent edge of the pathway, and the max longitudinal slope along the other edge.

Thanks, will give that a shot. I thought messing with priorities might work but hadn't got there.

Below is a similar problem that I believe will require an additional zone, non-uniform sidewalk width.
