[component roads] Problem with lane height

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am trying to learn how to use Autodesk Infrawork 360 (i'm still a newbie), and i encountered a problem in components road. I created a new component road (i took one of the premade sections) and put on my terrain. I immediately noticed that sidewalks are at the same level as the lane, although I can see the height of these objects (as you can see on my screenshot i attached). Is there a way to fix this? I tried to search on my own about this and as a result I didn't find anything. Thanks and sorry about my english, it's not my main language.

Perhaps this is occurring visually due to the "view" you are in. Try switching to the Conceptual View (i.e. do not use the "Engineering View").

i tried to change it in conceptual view, and it just changged some rendering settings (it just hid the height of the bumped objects under the terrain). It didn't actually bump the component sidewalks. i would liketo see the sidewalk on a different depth level of the lane

edit. sorry for double post, i don't know how to remove it

Do you speak English? I can help you with a screencast video but I'd like to know if you understand English enough to make it short and with sound, otherwise will me mute but longer... 

What version of Infraworks are you using? Have you downloaded and installed Infraworks 2018? it was released this past week...

I can understand english so a screencast would be much appreciated! Anyway i'm using the 2017 version 17.3.133.0 (but i can update it if it's necessary).

Thanks for the help

Sorry for the delay bud, is Sunday: Family time...

So here is the link to the screencast, please let me know if this solves your issue and if you need more help. If it works, please accept it as a valid solution... if not, I will share with you other options. 

Thanks man...

I tried both procedure you told me and both worked. Unfortunately i need to use the component as the road structure that i need to make is complicated and i got some problems with the intersections (the attached image shows the result with the design road method on a nearly done structure). I succeded to recreate that with the component road as you showed me.

The only thing that is left , but for me it's not so important, is that i couldn't find how to lower the secondary road near the sidewalk to match the main road level (in both the procedures), as you can see on the screenshot. if you know something for that, please let me know. if not, i'll just put your last answer as solution (i don't know if that would close the post, so i'll wait).

Thank you so much for the help you gave me!

Give me a couple of days and I'll show you how as I'm not near to my pc. Regardless, how are you managing your profiles at the intersection crossing? And remember you can create from scratch your typical sections in IW, so there are more alternatives.

If you accept the solution, the post will not close, you or I or anyone else can keep contributing.

I have only 2 types of intersection on my project. The first, the big one [first reference image], is just empty asphalt all over the intersection. At the beginning i tried with design road, but the results were awful [second image], while using the component roads i am managing to get a better crossing (still got some problems, probably due to the different lane levels [third image], or because i mispleaced something, i need to check it out better)

The second type of intersection is smaller and it will use just the service road and should be not a problem for components road (didn't try, but i'm sure it's easy).
