In AutoCAD Civil 3D
2011 software, enhanced geometry layout capabilities, purpose-built for road
design, have been added to provide you with more options.
|
|
|
|
With the 2011
release of AutoCAD Civil 3D, you can:
|
|
1.Create either an alignment or design profile from a
series of points or AutoCAD elements in the drawing file. This
functionality improves upon existing best-fit entity options when laying out
alignments and profiles, providing a method that is more familiar to
surveyors.
|
|
2.Widen roadways in curved sections based on local rules
to provide for safer conditions. This new feature adds offset alignments
in these locations to account for the widening; the offset alignments can
then be used in the corridor to help make a more accurate model of the road
surface.
|
|
3.Handle offset transitions in curve conditions with more
flexibility. Linear and s-shaped transitions to the offsets are allowed
and work on any alignment subentity.
|
|
4.Create a point of vertical intersection at the
intersecting grade line of two profile tangents. This provides a more
accurate means of establishing a design profile that more closely follows
existing conditions. Again, this functionality was originally available in
the Subscription Advantage Pack for AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010.
