Building a Divided Planar Roadway Assembly with Axis of Rotation Pivot Points

Product Documentation
Intermediate

Use the parameters shown in this topic to use the LaneSuperelevationAOR subassembly to build a divided planar roadway assembly with axis of rotation pivot points.

For best results, compose each side of the the assembly as a separate group. If the assembly is composed as a single group, the Median Edges pivot methods is ignored, and the median treatment is determined by the manner in which the assembly is built. For more information, see Managing Subassembly Groups.

The parameters in the following table must be set as shown for each corresponding LaneSuperelevationAOR subassembly. The other lane subassembly parameters do not affect the axis of rotation pivot points.

NoteThe Mirror Subassemblies command does not affect the Use Superelevation and Slope Direction parameters. These parameters must be set manually after a subassembly has been mirrored.
NoteThe numbers in the first row of the table correspond to the green numbers in the illustration.
