Daylight Subassemblies

Use these subassemblies to add daylight to road assemblies.

Image Subassembly Common Uses

DaylightBasin: Creates a basin in a cut situation or a basin, berm, and fill slope for a fill situation. Basin walls are comprised of two slope segments whereas ditches only contain one.

Default Tool Palette: Daylight Subassemblies

Daylighting where a basin or ditch is required

DaylightBasin2: Similar to DaylightBasin except that the berm is optional in a fill condition and the berm and basin widths can be controlled by an alignment.

Daylighting where a basin or ditch is required

DaylightBench: Creates cut of fill slopes with repeating benches as needed.

Default Tool Palette: Daylight Subassemblies

Large cut or fill slopes where benching is required

DaylightGeneral: Generalized daylight solution providing many parameters to create a basin, ditch, or simple daylight condition. It also includes an optional guardrail.

Default Tool Palette: Daylight Subassemblies

General purpose daylighting

DaylightMultipleSurface: Allows varying cut slopes depending on the material type being excavated. Up to three surfaces can be specified (i.e. topsoil, clay, rock).

Default Tool Palette: Daylight Subassemblies

Deep cuts where multiple material types are encountered

DaylightRockCut: Daylights using two target surfaces (existing ground and rock) with varied slope and ditch solutions based on conditions encountered.

Default Tool Palette: Daylight Subassemblies

Daylighting for deep cuts

DaylightStandard: Daylighting which applies one of 3 preset slopes (Flat, Medium, and Steep) based on conditions. It creates a ditch in cut situations and an optional guardrail for widening or steep fill conditions.

DaylightInsideROW: Daylights using a typical slope as long as the daylight is within the ROW limits. If the daylight falls outside the ROW, the slope can be steepened or held based on other parameters.

Subdivision road daylighting

DaylightMaxOffset: Typical slope is applied unless a steeper slope is needed to stay within a maximum offset from the baseline.

Default Tool Palette: Daylight Subassemblies

Daylighting within a boundary or obstacle

DaylightMaxWidth: Similar to DaylightMaxOffset except that the width of the daylight area is used instead of an offset from the baseline.

Default Tool Palette: Daylight Subassemblies

Daylighting within a boundary or obstacle

DaylightMinOffset: Typical slope is applied unless a less steep slope is needed to stay outside of a minimum offset from the baseline.

Default Tool Palette: Daylight Subassemblies

Daylighting outside of a boundary or obstacle

DaylightMinWidth: Similar to DaylightMinOffset except that the width of the daylight area is used instead of an offset from the baseline.

Default Tool Palette: Daylight Subassemblies

Daylighting outside of a boundary or obstacle

DaylightMultiIntercept: Daylighting that forces the cut or fill slope to pass through the surface multiple times to intersect at a more distant location.

Default Tool Palette: Daylight Subassemblies

Daylighting in "rough" terrain where a different intercept point may be needed

DaylightToOffset: Daylights from the attachment point to a given offset from the baseline.

Default Tool Palette: Daylight Subassemblies

Daylighting directly to a boundary or feature

DaylightToROW: Similar to DaylightToOffset except that an offset adjustment can be applied so that daylighting occurs a given distance within or beyond the ROW offset.
