In road design you often create ditch as a part of standard road gradings. Its position is 90% times determined by fixed roadside grading and its profile, drawn on a main road profile view.
Are there any options to obtain such a feature in infraworks right now?

But is there a way to make this ditch attached to road (witch its fixed grading) to be controlled by profile?
Thank you for both answers, I will look more up to assemblies made form component roads.
@Anonymous, yes, ditches attached to Road Assembly will follow horizontal and vertical profile at changes. Only restriction we have is that we can't yet attach Subassemblies after Roadside grading so only ditches before grading are supported now.
hello
That's right, you can create an additional assembly with the components of the roads, with the best of the 2017.3 update you could do this.
These are also connected to the profile and updated according to the changes you generate
I believe @Anonymous is wanting to grade the invert of the drain differently to the road profile, but with the drain remaining connected as part of the 'component road'.
In essence this will be maintaining the ditch slope from the carriageway edge, but the slope width will vary as the drain grade away/to the road profile grade.
Like the blue drains below falling and the road profile is climbing
(screen shot not IW360 sorry)
Yes a roadside ditch invert needs to be able to be controlled by its own profile in order to tie into culvert crossings, meet other ditches, etc.
Is this capability not available in Infraworks?
