Grade Parking Features

Grade Parking Features using a Setup Surface (Course Duration: 46 minutes) Course Description In this course, you will learn how to leverage a setup surface to grade parking features. Setup surfaces are auxiliary surfaces used to aid in the grading of proposed design features. They can be used in a variety of grading applications, including to elevate feature lines and perform interactive edits. This course will use a setup surface to establish a grading plane for a parking design. The setup surface will be created from a single feature and gradings, then be used to elevate the proposed design features. This is just one basic example of how a setup surface can be leveraged in your Civil 3D projects. Course Objectives The material presented in this course teach you how to: · Create a setup surface for a planar grading design · Elevate and associate grading features to a surface · Add breaklines to surface using supplementing factors · Smooth surface to create more natural looking contours · Refine proposed grading using a setup surface Course Prerequisites To participate in this training course, you should have the following: · Fundamental knowledge of grading objects in Civil 3D. Tips: · Turn off your phone, close your email, text and social media apps. · Plug headphones or ear buds to your computer. · Go Full Screen when watching videos.
Grade Planar Culdesac

Grade Planar Culdesac Course Introduction (Course Duration: 66 minutes) Course Description In this course, you will learn how to leverage a setup surface to grade a planar culdesac design. Setup surfaces are auxiliary surfaces used to aid in the grading of proposed design features. They can be used in a variety of grading applications, including to elevate feature lines and perform interactive edits. This course will use a setup surface to establish a grading plane for a culdesac. The setup surface will be created from a single feature and grading, then will be used to elevate the proposed design features. This is just one basic example of how a setup surface can be leveraged in your Civil 3D projects. Course Objectives The material presented in this course teach you how to: · Create grading features to establish a planar setup surface · Leverage Setup Surfaces to create proposed grading · Incorporate culdesac grading into a corridor model · Transition pavement grades between corridor regions · Assign corridor targets to override width and elevation parameters · Interactively edit culdesac grades in final corridor model Course Prerequisites To participate in this training course, you should have the following: · Fundamental knowledge about Feature Line and Corridor modeling in Civil 3D. Tips: · Turn off your phone, close your email, text and social media apps. · Plug headphones or ear buds to your computer. · Go Full Screen when watching videos.
Grade Superelevated Intersection

Grade Superelevated Intersection Course Introduction (Course Duration: 56 minutes) Course Description In this course, you will learn how to grade a superelevated intersection. Superelevated intersections can present a grading challenge in Civil 3D as the pavement cross slope varies through the intersection. To accurately grade an intersection, where one or both of the intersecting roads have a non-standard” cross grade, you will need to use offset and/or elevation targets to override the default offsets and/or cross slopes. To create these targeting features, and maintain a dynamic intersection model, you can use a setup surface. The grading example presented in this course addresses a T-intersection, where only the primary road is being superelevated. The same grading principles can be applied to 4-way intersections, where both roads have non-standard cross grades. Course Objectives The material presented in this course teach you how to: · Create a setup surface for a superelevated road · Establish offset alignments that are bound to a centerline alignment · Establish surface profiles that are bound a setup surface · Create an intersection object using existing offset alignments and lane slope profiles · Create a corridor surface using links and feature lines · Edit the design speed and recalculate superelevation for an alignment · Update the intersection model after editing superelevation Course Prerequisites To participate in this training course, you should have the following: · Fundamental experience working with alignments, profiles, and corridor models. · Fundamental experience working with Intersection objects. Tips: · Turn off your phone, close your email, text and social media apps. · Plug headphones or ear buds to your computer. · Go Full Screen when watching videos.
