The SoundWall subassembly inserts links and shapes to create a sound wall based on Caltrans Standard Plan B15-1.
You should verify that the dimensions used match your interpretation of the standard plan.

Parameter |
Description |
Status |
|---|---|---|
| Wall Height | May be used to override the wall height tie the elevation of the top of wall to the elevation of a profile. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying the elevation: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey figures. | Optional |
| Top of Footing | May be used to override the top of footing and tie the elevation of the top of footing to the elevation of a profile. 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
The dimensions of the sound wall footing is found within the subassembly based on the input parameters.
Output Parameters
None.
Behavior
The initial point is set at the attachment point. The dimensions of the footings are determined by the input parameters. The wall points, links, and shapes are built and then the footing is built.
Layout Mode Operation
In layout mode, this subassembly draws the sound wall based on the input parameters.
Point, Link, and Shape Codes
The following table lists the point, link, and shape codes for this subassembly that have codes assigned to them. Point, link, or shape codes for this subassembly that do not have codes assigned are not included in this table.
