To Edit Side Road Profiles for Intersections

You may need to edit the profile for a side road after an intersection is created. For example, you can apply or not apply grade rules, or change the maximum grade.

This helps set reasonable grades coming in and out of the intersection on the side road.

1. Do one of the following:
   • In the drawing, click the intersection object. On the ribbon, click Side Road Profile on the Modify panel of the Intersection contextual tab.
   • In the drawing, right-click the intersection object, and then select Adjust Side Road Profile from the object context menu.
   • In Prospector, expand the Intersections collection, right-click the intersection object, and then select Adjust Side Road Profile from the Toolspace context menu.
   Note: If one or more of the dynamic PVIs created by the intersection are unlocked, a task dialog is displayed prompting you to either relock the PVIs to match the primary road, or to continue the command without relocking the PVIs. If they do not match the primary road elevation, the corridor top surface in the curb return fillet areas will be uneven. Choose to either relock the PVIs, if possible, or to continue the command without relocking the PVIs.
2. Use the Secondary Road Profile Rules dialog box to edit the following parameters associated with this component.
   • Apply Grade Rules: Specifies whether to apply grade rules for this secondary road profile.
   • Maximum Grade: Specifies the maximum grade that can be used for the tangents leading in to or leaving the intersection along the secondary road.
   • Maximum Grade Change: Specifies the maximum grade change between the intersection area and the tangent leading to the intersection along the secondary road.
   • Distance Rule to Adjust the Grade: Specifies to use a user-defined length or to the extents of the intersection, as lengths, for incoming and outgoing grades along the secondary roads.
   • Distance Value: When using the Distance Rule to Adjust the Grade option, this specifies the distance rule value used for the grade used for the secondary road in the intersection.
