Hello again , yes ! White lines are what i created with roundabout tool ,and the yellow ones or I better say the gray solid hatched, is the pavement edge i need . so I need to create a roundabout with tools so that the white lines align  with the edges of gray solid hatch. 🙂

Hello Navia thank you for your consideration. No . unfortunately , i couldn not find solution so that if i need to taper the central gap width . and also is there a way to have such a reverse curve designed ? i am not sure what is the benefit of that reverse curve at the exit though , but anyway . i need a Splitter island which is kind of constant width at first , and then get to zero at  a  length later . thank you . i got zero reply here .

Hi @nazmirsh, are you trying to get the roundabout tool to do the geometry of your legs as shown by the yellow lines?

I was wondering. If you got this using the roundabout tool and you have the alignments in place, why not editing them manually to make them look as desired? I think it can be quicker than playing around with roundabout  assistant

Le me know your thoughts.

Thank you for your reply . I couldnt figure it out to create roundabout corridor with the shape i needed ..... So , i forgot about Roundabout tool and i just created a roundabout with my own alignment i used offset alignment and connected alignment , but i dont know how to proceed further to get a unified corrdidor out of all these alignments . I would appreciate if u know a good way 

Regards

Hi @nazmirsh, you've made good progress. All of those alignments will be your baselines. One corridor with multiple baselines should be the approach. What you need to think of is which part of your roundabout geometry every alignment is going to control. With the setup you have, I could think of the following:

Do you have the design profiles for your alignments? if not, start with the circulatory road, then design the legs. When you create your corridor, make your circulatory road your starting baseline. Then add the rest clicking here:

Choose the alignment, profile, and baseline, and then define the start and end stations (not always you'll need the whole thing).

For alignments like the ones I painted red and orange in the image, you'll need to stop at the edge of the circulatory roadway. That's why this step is important.

 

If you still have questions feel free to post them. Regards,

in fact if i can find a correct asssembly for these corners , that the lane both side can be targeted between both green lines , then i guess the problem is solved

HI @nazmirsh, these alignments you show in your last post are slightly than those on the post I used for the sketch. But, I think you can still find a way of of that. 

 

Draw a feature line where I drew the red line. Make sure it has the right elevations. Then target that feature line using your circulatory roadway baseline (green arrows). You might need to slightly modify your circulatory roadway assembly, though.

Does this make sense? let me know. I hope it helps. Best regards,

This is a typical targeting scenario. I would agree that the roundabout tool is for concept. It needs refining on the development side to be ready for production work
