Projected Profiles | Introduction
Created for Civil 3D production output, the Projected Profiles command addresses the challenge of integrating independently designed road features, such as parking bays or knuckles, into main road Civil 3D Profile Views.
The Projected Profiles command provides users with the ability to project String designs onto the alignment of other Strings to create Civil 3D Profiles (projecting design Civil 3D Profiles onto another alignment). Unlike Civil 3D Superimpose Profiles, the Projected Profiles command projects the design IP’s onto the selected string, then added the vertical curves.
This vastly improves the labelling of the projected Civil 3D profile, by detailing the grade and vertical curve information rather than a tessellated approximation.
Common applications of this would be for designs where it is required to show the design profile for kerb returns that connect to a road, or there is an independent vertical design for the left and right side of the road that needs to be shown along with the design centreline on the same Profile View.
Key Features and Applications:
- Profile Creation Flexibility: Supports independent vertical designs, such as kerb returns or profiles for road sides, shown alongside the design centreline in the same Profile View.
- Vertical Curve Management: Handles parabolic vertical curves, with options to transfer or project curve geometry points.
- Profile Customization: Users can select styles and labels for immediate customization.
Civil Survey Applications recently hosted the ‘Civil Site Design: Council User Training Day’ in Parramatta, NSW. This complimentary technical training workshop was centred on civil engineering and design for local government users, with a focus on practical application of Civil Site Design features. The agenda was designed to deliver direct value to the attendees through […]
Since releasing Civil Site Design in the USA in 2007, we have experienced constant growth. A technical distributor, Logis LLC, was appointed in 2015, followed by the establishment of Civil Survey Applications LLC in 2019. Located in Florida, the team of 5 including three civil engineers, is committed to customising the software for the US […]
See how Civil Site Design efficiently incorporates and displays survey data, specifically cogo points and survey strings, within your design framework. This article explores this through the lens of a rural road project, demonstrating how cogo points and survey strings from the topographical survey are seamlessly integrated and visualised in Civil Site Design's Cross Section Viewer, VGE (Vertical Grading Editor), and 3D viewer (Model Viewer).
