Cant Tab

Define how cant is represented in the Preview panel. Cant can be previewed in Roadway Mode but not in Layout Mode.

Note: You can use the Input/Output Parameters tab to add parameters that are brought into Autodesk Subassembly Composer when the subassembly is imported.
Note: Select the ApplyAOR check box in the Properties panel for links to which you want to apply cant.

For more information, see About Defining Cant for a Subassembly.

Cant Parameter Specifies the cant pivot type, the points that represent the left and right rails, and the delta elevations to apply:
  • CantPivotType: Specifies whether the pivot type used in the preview is CenterLine, LeftRail, or RightRail.

  • RightRail: Specifies the point to use as the right rail pivot point in the preview.
  • RightRailDeltaElevation: Specifies the delta elevation to use for the right rail in the preview.
  • Note:
    • When the CantPivotType is set to CenterLine, the LeftRailDeltaElevation and RightRailDeltaElevation parameters should have opposite values.
    • When the CantPivotType is set to LeftRail, the LeftRailDeltaElevation should be 0.
    • When the CantPivotType is set to RightRail, the RightRailDeltaElevation should be 0.
Preview Value Specifies the value used when the parameter is drawn in the Preview panel.
