BasicCurbAndGutter

This subassembly creates a a simple curb and gutter structure at the inside or outside edges of roadway.

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 flange point of the gutter or back of the curb.

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 subassembly builds the shape for a simple curb and gutter with the attachment point either at (a) the inside edge of the gutter (or lip), or (b) the back of the curb. The face of the curb is given a small, constant width to make it non-vertical.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly draws the curb and gutter shape as specified by the input parameter values.
