super-elevation for compound curves

[oliverkisera]

Hello engineers, I've modeled an alignment that has 4 compound curves in some sections with different radius, I did this because I wanted to avoid unnecessary straights in areas that just want long curves, my aim is to try and get civil 3d to give me super-elevation for these 4 compound curves as just one big curve to ensure I get good transition crossfalls from straights into these 4 compound curves and then back again into straight, is there a way I can edit the super-elevation to make civil 3d treat these four curves as just one curve or how can I get just normal smooth transitions cross falls just the same way I would when moving from starting and into a simple curve then back into a straight, thanks

In your Superelevation Table, you can right click on different critical points and remove them as needed. This way you can keep the transition into the first curve of the compound curve, delete all the transitions within the compound curve, and then keep the transition out of the last curve of the compound curve.

Brilliant, perfect, you saved my day
