Insert Station Cross Slope
Adds an additional station and cross slope transition to an existing superelevation lane.
You can access this tool from the following:
There may be times when an additional station and cross slope transition need to be added to an existing superelevation lane. Rather than deleting the lane and recreating it, the Insert Superelevation Station/Cross-slope tool can be used.
Workflow
Prompt |
User Action |
Locate Superelevation |
Select a previously created superelevation lane that has superelevation calculations already assigned. |
Distance Constraint Type |
None = Distance Offset = Vector Slope = |
Slope Constraint Type |
None = Cross Slope = Mirror Cross Slope = Match Cross Slope = Vector Slope = |
Pivot About |
Identifies which edge to pivot about. |
Transition Type |
Optional - Type of superelevation transition at this station and cross slope. Possible values include: L = Linear PC = Parabolic Curve PRC = Parabolic Reverse Curve BRC = Biquadratic Reverse Curve CRC = Cubic Reverse Curve SRC = Symmetrical Reverse Curve |
Station |
Required - Station where cross slope is defined. Station equations supported based on the section's reference alignment and the Design File Settings > Civil Formatting > Station Settings > Equation setting. |
Cross Slope |
Required – Cross slope at the specified station formatted as a double value (-2% = -0.02). |
Point Type |
Optional – Type of superelevation point at this station and cross slope. Possible values include: NC = Normal Crown NCIN = Normal Crown Inside NCOUT = Normal Crown Outside LC = Level Crown LCIN = Level Crown Inside LCOUT = Level Crown Outside RC = Reverse Crown RCIN = Reverse Crown Inside RCOUT = Reverse Crown Outside FS = Full Super FSIN = Full Super Inside FSOUT = Full Super Outside U = Undefined |
Locate Reference Element |
Select the Civil horizontal element to be used as a basis for superelevation lanes and calculations. |
Start Station |
Graphically define (based on the dashed line perpendicular to the reference element) the beginning of the section. The station can be keyed in and locked. |
