Good afternoon, not sure if this is a topic someone already asked about it.

Do you guys know what's the best workflow to design a perpendicular curb ramp:

I attached two pictures, the first one is using a curb return as baseline and 2 feature lines for one quadrant of the turnout, the second one is using the curb return as a baseline (c&g and existing edge) and target this into the alignment and the edge of pavement (feature line)

And probably the first or second option will depend on how water runs, i may have to redo the whole turnout for a proper drainage.

 

Thanks

Right..priorities.. fix the drainage first.. create the minimum or better required invert to work with .. then work it out.

Hi @aylinlopez25601035, I'd go with option 2. It seems to mee it can be easier to control elevations.

Yes, 2nd option is the better option.
