FDOT Civil 3D Subassemblies For Corridor Modeling FDOT Civil 3D Subassemblies For Corridor Modeling

The document discusses how FDOT constructs corridor models in Civil 3D using subassemblies. It describes the key components of a corridor - the surface, alignment, and profile. It also discusses what subassemblies are, how FDOT created subassemblies specific to their design standards, and where to find the FDOT subassemblies installed with the state kit. The document provides examples of code sets and point/link codes used with the subassemblies.

Assembly

What are Assemblies?

An assembly is a collection of intelligent


objects called subassemblies.

What are Subassemblies?

Subassemblies are the basic objects needed to


build a section of a road.
FDOT has created many subassemblies that
are specific to the Design Standards.
For more information, attend the FDOT
Subassembly session.

What is included in the State Kit for Civil 3D for Corridors?

CREATING THE FDOT


CORRIDOR MODEL

Files for Corridors in a FDOT Project

Alignment
ALGNRD

Vertical Alignment (Profile)


ALGNRD
It is preferred in C3D to keep profiles in same drawing as their
alignment. Otherwise maintain data references and store in
DSPFRD

Targets for Subassembly

Where do we get subassemblies?

EXPLORING THE FDOT


SUBASSEMBLIES

Mommy, Where Do Subassemblies Come


From?

FDOT Subassemblies were created with .NET,


Subassembly Composer (Autodesk) and Subassembly
Studio (Civil 3D Power Tools)

The FDOT Subassemblies are installed with the State Kit


and stored in ATC files and organized on Tool Palettes
NOTE: .ATC files are Autodesk Catalog files in XML which can be
imported to Tool Palettes using Content Browser.

FDOT Subassembly master ATC Catalog is located:


C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Civil3D2012\Enu\FDOTSubassemblies.atc

Individual palette ATC sources are located:


C:\FDOT2012.C3D\Support\ToolPalettes\Palettes

Subassembly code example,


FDOT Type F Curb

The Help File

Determine what can of target or


parameters can be set with the
subassembly.

Provides the integral details about


each subassembly and its behavior

Lists the objects, the definitions of the


names, all codes and how it behaves.

Code Set Styles = master set of graphic settings for


the points, links and shapes in all possible view directions
(model, plan, profile and section)

Applied to a Corridor or Assembly to control the


appearance of the cross section links

Used to add a label to a Point, Link or Shape

FDOT Subassembly Link Codes

Pave Label labels the link slope using decimal


format.
Daylight labels the link grade using rise:run format.
Use with Code Set Style:
FDOT_XSection_Typical_with_XSlopes

FDOT Subassembly Point Codes

PGL labels the PGL elevations


EG0Offset labels the existing ground elevation.
Use with Code Set Style:
FDOT_XSection_Typical_with_XSlopes

FDOT Code Set Styles

LAYOUT
FDOT_Assembly (For graphic corridor layout)

Visualization
FDOT_Visualize (Includes common render materials)

CROSS SECTION PRODUCTION


FDOT_Xsections_Drainage
FDOT_Xsections_Mill
FDOT_Xsections_Typical
FDOT_Xsections_Typical with slopes

Locating Subassemblies

FDOT Corridor Palette is installed with


the State Kit

Launch Tool Palette (Ctrl+3) or from


Ribbon.
Tool Palettes are fully customizable.
However, only one tool palette path is
unlocked at a time

Rt-Click on the Tool Palette Header to


see the Palette Group Menu
Groups were organized to make it easy to
access all the information available from
FDOT & Autodesk
Groups can be re-imported from
C:\FDOT2012.C3D\Support\ToolPalettes\F
