UrbanFootpath

This subassembly inserts links for a concrete footpath with inside and outside grass boulevards.

Attachment

The attachment point is at the inside edge of the inside boulevard. The UrbanFootpath subassembly is typically attached to a back-of-kerb or edge of pavement.

Input Parameters

Note: All dimensions are in meters or feet unless otherwise noted. All slopes are in run-over-rise form (for example, 4 : 1) unless indicated as a percent slope with a “%” sign.

Behavior

The inside grass strip, footpath, and outside grass boulevard links are inserted outward from the attachment point at the given slope. The grass strips can be omitted by specifying a zero-width.

Optionally, various element widths can be attained by attaching to offset alignments. Also, the footpath crossfall can be derived by tying into an offset profile.

Target Parameters

This section lists the parameters in this subassembly that can be mapped to one or more target objects, such as a surface, alignment, or profile object in a drawing. For more information, see To Specify Corridor Targets.

Parameter

Type of Assignment

Status

Inside Boulevard Width

May be used to override the fixed Inside Boulevard Width and tie the inside edge-of-footpath to an offset alignment. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this offset: alignments, polylines, features lines, or survey figures.

Optional

Footpath Width

May be used to override the fixed Width of Footpath and tie the outside edge-of-footpath to an offset alignment. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this offset: alignments, polylines, features lines, or survey figures.

Optional

Outside Boulevard Width

May be used to override the fixed Outside Boulevard Width with an offset alignment. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this offset: alignments, polylines, features lines, or survey figures.

Optional

Output Parameters

None.
