BasicLane

This subassembly creates a simple lane.

This subassembly 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 lane on finish grade.

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.
