ClarkCountyBasicDaylight

The ClarkCountyBasicDaylight subassembly inserts links to create cut or fill catch slopes with a shoulder. You can define a ditch in cut situations.

You should verify that the dimensions used match your interpretation of the standard plan.

Case 1: With Ditch

Case 2: Without Ditch

Attachment

The attachment point is at the inside edge of the initial cut or fill slope. This component can be attached to either the left or right side.

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.

Target Parameters

This section lists the parameters in this subassembly that can be mapped to one or more target objects. For more information, see To Specify Corridor Targets.

Parameter

Description

Status

Daylight Surface Name of the daylighting surface. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying the surface: surfaces. Required
Elevation May be used to override the ditch bottom elevation. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying the elevation: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey figures. Optional

Runtime Logical Assignments

None.

Output Parameters

None.

Behavior

The initial shoulder or hinge point is set at the attachment point. If the shoulder is built if the shoulder width is larger than zero. The hinge point elevation is checked against the target surface to determine if the section is in the cut or fill condition. If in cut, the ditch is determined if it needs to be built. Then an intercept is calculated to the target surface using the given Daylight Slope.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly draws the initial fill slope to 5 ft (1.5 m).

Point, Link, and Shape Codes
