Hi,
I have to created a subassembly representing the silhouette of the train ( see image).
So, I have to assegn to it the Cant ( rail superelevation) calcolated for alignment.
I suppose, I have to use cant section of "subassembly composer" . But I didn't understand how it works.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello @dar.lombardi!
I believe Francesco can help you out with this topic. He has some videos about rails in Civil 3D that you may be interested (videos in italian): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3bKfYQM6EE.
Subassembly Composer (SAC) is a great tool, I suggest this AU class from Kati Mercier, fantastic content about how to use SAC and its functionalities: https://www.autodesk.com/autodesk-university/class/Analyze-and-Devise-Subassembly-Composer-2017.
About the cant in SAC, I suggest this tutorial from Autodesk, it has one sample pkt file that you may check how the parameters are set: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/civil-3d/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2019/ENU/Civi....
I don't work much with rails, hope these links help you! Regards,
Thanks, I will read the material and try to consider the cant
