ShoulderExtendAll: Shoulder with all courses extended to the daylight slope.

Default Tool Palette: Shoulders Subassemblies

Shoulders where all courses extend to the daylight slope

ShoulderExtendSubbase: Shoulder with subbase extended to the daylight slope. Each course can be assigned an independent extension into the daylight slope as well.

Default Tool Palette: Shoulders Subassemblies

Shoulders where only the subbase material extends to the daylight slope

ShoulderMultiLayer: Similar to ShoulderExtendSubbase with additional base and subbase courses. The top two pavement courses have variable extensions into the daylight slope.

Default Tool Palette: Shoulders Subassemblies

Shoulders requiring more than 4 courses where the base and subbase material extends to the daylight slope

ShoulderMultiSurface: Similar to ShoulderMultilayer except that it includes independent paved and earthen shoulder areas. All courses are extended to the daylight slope.

Default Tool Palette: Shoulders Subassemblies

Shoulders with paved and earthen areas

ShoulderVerticalSubbase: Shoulder with subbase materials terminating at the edge of the shoulder, with an optional unpaved area outside of the shoulder that can be inserted based on cut/fill and superelevation conditions.

Default Tool Palette: Shoulders Subassemblies

Shoulders that require an unpaved widening when in cut or on the high side of superelevation

ShoulderWithSubbaseInterlaced: Shoulder which allows the adjacent lane pavement structure to be extended into the shoulder material and interlaced with the shoulder subbase material.

Default Tool Palette: Shoulders Subassemblies

Shoulders requiring subbase material to be interlaced with base material

ShoulderWithSubbaseInterlacedAndDitch: ShoulderWithSubbaseInterlaced plus a parabolic ditch.

Default Tool Palette: Shoulders Subassemblies

Shoulders with an integrated ditch
