BasicShoulder

This subassembly creates a simple paved shoulder with finish grade and subbase.

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 shoulder on the finish grade.

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
Side	Specifies which side to place the subassembly	Left / Right	Right
Width	Width of shoulder	Numeric, positive	0.9 m 3 ft
Depth	Depth from finish grade to subbase	Numeric, positive	0.2 m 0.67 ft
%Slope	% Slope of the shoulder	Numeric	-4%

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 shoulder links are inserted outwards from the attachment point at the given width, slope, and depth.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly draws the lane using the input parameters.
