BasicSideWalk

This subassembly is used to insert links defining a concrete sidewalk with optional boulevards.

This is one of a group of Getting Started subassemblies used for simple roadway modeling, and for tutorial and training purposes.

Attachment

The attachment point is at the inside edge of the inside buffer.

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.

Target Parameters: None.

Output Parameters

None.

Behavior

The links for the inside buffer zone, sidewalk, and outside buffer zone are inserted outward from the attachment point at a horizontal slope. The buffer zones may be omitted by setting their widths to zero.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly draws the buffer zone and sidewalk as specified by the input parameters.
