BasicGuardrail

This subassembly creates a simple guardrail shape on the assembly.

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 the post at finish grade level.

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.

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 subassembly builds two rectangular shapes for the post and railing. The dimensions are fixed, and cannot be changed by the user. The post extends downward from the attachment point for a fixed distance below finish grade.
