A common misconception is that the road widths are
defined in the road template. The values used for
widths in the template are only used for testing
purposes, when you click on the View Tab in the
Template Editor.
Road lane widths are defined under Edge Levels on
the Alignment Menu in Roads Mode.
Defining Road Widths
Alignment Menu › Edge Levels › Edit Super
Program will open a window of a graphical presentation
of the edge levels, change to the spreadsheet view via
the Windows Menu › Edge Control
This road has lane widths of 3.050m.
Under the display settings use PLC codes to show the
road edges.
Viewing the road layout in Plan view.
An additional lane will be added on the road
between chainage 220 - 240. The lane width will be
increased to 5.050.
Alignment Menu › Edge Levels › Edit Super
Close the Edge Levels dialog.
Click Yes to save changes.
Once the new widths have been added, the new edge
levels have to be calculated.
Alignment Menu › Edge Levels › Generate Levels
Select the layer for edge levels (in this example, the additional lane
will be stored into an additional layer, but it could
be stored into the same layer used before the extra
lane was added) , click OK to continue.
The next step is to show the additional lane.
Settings Menu › Display Settings
Line 6 has been added, this will show the additional lane. If the new
edge levels are stored in the same layer as the
original road, then the additional line is not
required. If the new edge levels were stored in
Final Road, then pressing S would update the
screen and show the widening.
The road layout now reflects the road widening. Notice the road is
automatically tapered between chainages 200-240 and
240-260. |
