Kerb Editor (version 6.5)



This Tech Tip explains how to use the Kerb Editor to create a new kerb profile or to edit an existing kerb profile

 

Using the Kerb Editor

 

Tools Menu › Kerb Editor





Civil Designer has a few default kerb profiles included in the program. if you need to create a new kerb, it is easier to load an existing profile and then make the changes.

 

Click on the Load button to load a default kerb profile.




Select the desired profile, and then click on Open to load the profile.


 


Geometry
 
Specifies the cross sectional geometry of a kerb by using 2 dimensional vectors.


 

 
Hor Column Specifies a horizontal movement, starting from the edge of the carriageway (PLC 100 or 101)
Ver Column Specifies a vertical movement, starting from the edge of the carriageway (PLC 100 or 101)
Stop Indicate where the compulsory portion of the template must start. When generating edge levels, a "cut-out" will be created from row 1 up to this row.

 


Quantities


Specifies quantities to be calculated when running "Kerb Quantities". The program will automatically multiply the specified quantities by the length of kerb calculated at the kerb face.
 

 

 

 

Type Enter the type of quantity to be calculated. Click on the drop down arrow to select the type either volume, area or linear.
Formula Enter the range (closed polygon for Volumes and open polygon for Areas). You can also add, subtract, multiply or divide a constant value to the range. (Right click in the Formula column to access the tools to define formula)
Description Enter a description that will be printed when running Kerb volumes

 

 


 

Using the Define Region option, you click on the sides of the kerb to add the values into the formula.

 

As you define the region, the range defined will be highlighted in the Formula Range Pen.



 

 



 


Once the range has been defined, right click to add the range into the Formula column.





The formula can be tested by right clicking ion the Formula column and select test Formula, the
results for the formula will be shown.




 

A description can also be added if required.

 

Once the kerb has been created, the file can be saved by clicking on the Save button.
