Parabolic Subassemblie

I am working on a project that needs to have a "super elevated" parabolic section. We are replacing an existing road that the west gutter is 3-inches higher than the east gutter. I found the LaneParabolic Subassemblie, but it does not let you set diffrent elevations at the gutters. Is there a half patabolic section that can be added to a corridor? If not, is there a way to to modle it using other assemblies?

 

Thanks for any help.

I found a work around.

 

The Parabolic Subassembly is broken into 8 regins to simulate the curve of the road. By using two LaneBrokenBack Subassemblies with the same spacing and slope I am able to creat half sections that are indistinguishable from the Parabolic Subassembly. I have to create transitions by hand, but it's an improvement.

Look long enough and you can answer your own questions.

 

The Parabolic Subassemblie has a parameter called Slope that lets you superelevate the assemblie based on the cross slope from gutter to gutter (in percent).
