SimpleCutWithLanding

The SimpleCutWithLanding subassembly allows a simple landing/shoulder with a cut option. The subassembly only daylights in a cut situation.

Attachment

The attachment point is the innermost point on the grading links preceding the landing.

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. Optional

Runtime Logical Assignments

None.

Output Parameters

None.

Behavior

The landing is drawn using the input parameters. The height to daylight is then calculated. If the distance is less than 25 ft (7.5 m) a daylight slope of 4:1 is used. If the height is less than 35 ft (10.5 m) a daylight slope of 3:1 is used. Otherwise a daylight slope of 2:1 is used.

If in fill, the daylight slope is not created.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode the subassembly displays the links comprising the landing and a link for the daylight in cut.
