Reference Profiles | Introduction
- Creating Strings describing the left/right kerb lines of your road, enabling design control of the kerb lines left/right of your road where you want, and otherwise referencing the Road centreline design
- Automatically applying changes to the road cross sections based on the Reference Profile elevations
- Automating the process of projecting these onto your road alignments as Civil 3D profiles, where it is required to show the kerb profile design/s along with, or instead of, the centreline design
Reference Profiles can be created individually or all at once using the Auto Create function.
You pick all the roads you need to create profiles for, the codes you are designing from the road, whether you want to immediately create profile views, and whether to create projected profiles.The command will do the rest, setting up the ranges to reference the road centreline, adding the vertical connections through intersections, applying the new kerb controls to the road and optionally producing Civil 3D profiles.
In this webinar we demonstrate the best practice for using Model Builder and unpack all the functionality to operate it successfully, using a road and parking bay design.
In Civil Site Design V24.10, the Design Data Form has undergone some ergonomic improvements and seen the addition of a new Design Variation – Offset by Polyline.
In Civil Site Design V24.10, the Model Builder Edit/Trim by Selection & Group forms received an update which can have a significant impact on selecting sections for trimming models.
The DRAINS exchange for Civil Site Design has been established for over 10 years and has provided users with a solution of drafting in the CAD environment, analysing in DRAINS and generating design long sections with the HGL in Civil Site Design. This popular functionality has been a staple for drainage engineers looking to speed up the process of designing and drafting between the applications.
