LinkOffsetAndElevation

This subassembly is a general purpose utility to connect a link from the attachment point to a specified offset and elevation.

An alignment can be substituted for the offset, and a profile for the elevation.

Attachment

The attachment point is at the beginning of the link. The direction of the link is determined by the location of the given offset and elevation relative to the attachment point.

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.

Parameter

Description

Type

Default

Offsetfrom Baseline

+/- offset of the end of the link. Specifying a positive value for the this parameter inserts this subassembly on the right side of a corridor, or controlling baseline. A negative value inserts it on the left side. For more information, see "Inserting Subassemblies on Right and Left Sides of a Corridor" in the Corridors chapter of the Autodesk Civil 3D User's Guide Help.

Target Parameters

This section lists the parameters in this subassembly that can be mapped to one or more target objects, such as a surface, alignment, or profile object in a drawing. For more information, see To Specify Corridor Targets.

Parameter

Description

Status

Offset

May be used to override the fixed Offset and tie the end-of-link to an offset alignment. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this offset: alignments, polylines, feature lines, or survey figures.

Optional

Elevation

May be used to override the fixed Elevation and tie the end-of-link to a profile. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this elevation: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey figures.

Optional

Behavior

A link is added from the attachment point to the given offset and elevation.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly displays a horizontal link using the given Offset input parameters as the width.
