Output Parameters
None.

Behavior
This subassembly builds an open channel shape using the input parameters. The attachment point is typically at
the start of the baseline, at associated alignments and profiles. The bottom link of the channel is then drawn
using a specified width. Using the sideslope parameter, the channel sides are drawn on either sides.

For the channel lining depth, if a non-zero positive value is specified for the Lining Depth parameter, then a
material lining is drawn around the channel. The Lining Depth is measured perpendicular to the side of the
slope, as shown in the previous diagram. If a zero value is specified for the Lining Depth, then no links are
inserted.

Similarly, if a zero value is specified for left or right extensions and backslope widths, those links are omitted, or
are not drawn. Extension height can be controlled with a target parameter profile association. Similarly, the
height of the backslope end point can be specified to a profile. To force the outer backslope point to the channel
top elevation, associate this point to the channel’s finish grade profile, to which this assembly is attached.

If the Backslope Width is omitted, the Right Marked Point is located on the outer point of channel height
extension. If the Channel Height Extension link is also omitted, then the marked point is located on the
outermost point on the channel top.

Note:

In Civil 3D 2010 and previous versions, the Lining Depth parameter was measured vertically. In Civil 3D 2011
and later, this parameter is measured perpendicular to the side slope. Therefore, if you open a drawing
containing these subassemblies that was created in Civil 3D 2010 or prior in Civil 3D 2011 or later, and then
rebuild the corridor(s), this parameter will be changed to reflect the new behavior. Any volume reports that use
this subassembly will be updated to reflect the new behavior.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly draws as it is defined using the input parameters, starting from the attachment
point.

Output Parameters
None.

Behavior
This subassembly builds an open channel shape using the input parameters. The attachment point is typically at
the start of the baseline, at associated alignments and profiles. At the bottom left and right lower sideslope link,
points are located using a specified Bottom Width parameter. A parabolic curve is drawn between these two
points with grade-in and grade-out equal to the specified sideslope parameter. The length of the parabolic curve
is equal to the Bottom Width value. This parabolic curve is drawn in tessellated links using the Curve
Tessellation Points parameter. If the tessellation index is odd, then a point is added directly below the
attachment point of the subassembly.

For the channel lining depth, if a non-zero positive value is specified for the Lining Depth parameter, then a
material lining is drawn around the channel. The Lining Depth is measured perpendicular to the side of the
slope, as shown in the previous diagram. If a zero value is specified for the Lining Depth, then no links are
inserted.

Similarly, if a zero value is specified for left or right extensions and backslope widths, those links are omitted or
are not drawn. Extension height can be controlled with a profile target parameter association. Similarly, the
height of the outermost backslope point can be specified with a profile target parameter. To force the outermost
backslope point to the channel top height, associate this to the channel’s finish grade profile, to which this
assembly is attached.

If the Backslope Width is omitted, then the marked point is located on the outer point of the channel height
extension. If the Channel Height Extension link is also omitted, then the marked point is located on the
outermost point of the channel top.

Note:

In Civil 3D 2010 and previous versions, the Lining Depth parameter was measured vertically. In Civil 3D 2011
and later, this parameter is measured perpendicular to the side slope. Therefore, if you open a drawing
containing these subassemblies that was created in Civil 3D 2010 or prior in Civil 3D 2011 or later, and then
rebuild the corridor(s), this parameter will be changed to reflect the new behavior. Any volume reports that use
this subassembly will be updated to reflect the new behavior.

ConditionalCutOrFill

This subassembly automatically applies various subassemblies, such as generic links, widening, ditching, or
daylighting subassemblies, to an assembly based on whether a cut or fill condition exists.

The ConditionalCutOrFill subassembly is a special type of subassembly that is referred to as a conditional

subassembly. Conditional subassemblies automatically add specified subassemblies to an assembly when
certain conditions, which you specify, exist.

For example, when an assembly contains a ConditionalCutOrFill subassembly, Autodesk Civil 3D analyzes the
station, offset, and elevation position of the subassembly to determine whether it is in cut or fill condition.
Depending on how you set the ConditionalCutOrFill subassembly parameters, different types of subsequent
subassemblies are automatically applied (added) to the assembly based on whether the subassembly is in cut or
fill.

To learn more about how to use the ConditionalCutOrFill subassembly, see the tutorial.

The following illustration shows a corridor assembly section comprised of:

 a left and a right side lane

 four ConditionalCutOrFill subassemblies (two on the left side and two on the righ side)
 The top left side ConditionalCutOrFill subassembly is configured to automatically add a Bench
subassembly when Autodesk Civil 3D detects that the assembly is in a cut condition.
 The bottom left side ConditionalCutOrFill subassembly is configured to automatically add Shoulder and
Grade subassemblies on the left side when it detects that the subassembly is in a fill condition.
 Similarly, the top right side ConditionalCutOrFill subassembly is configured to add a Ditch subassembly
when it detects a cut condition, while the bottom right side ConditionalCutOrFill subassembly adds
Shoulder and Grade subassemblies when it detects a fill condition.

You can add one or multiple ConditionalCutOrFill subassemblies to an assembly, thereby creating simple or
complex conditional behaviors in assemblies. For example, in the previous example, you can also add a
ConditionalCutOrFill subassembly that automatically daylights at a given slope when it detects that it is in fill
condition greater than 3 meters, or some other specified value. Similarly, you can add a ConditionalCutOrFill
subassembly that automatically applies widening when it detects a fill condition of greater than a specified value.
When you create an assembly using ConditionalCutOrFill subassemblies, the assembly construction displayed
in the Construction tab of the Assembly Properties dialog box indicates the order in which the subassemblies are
processed.

It is important to note the following when using the ConditionalCutOrFill subassembly:

 Autodesk Civil 3D analyzes the station, offset, and elevation position of the subassembly, relative to the
target surface, to determine whether the subassembly is in cut or fill condition.
 When an assembly containing ConditionalCutOrFill subassemblies is applied to a corridor model, only
specific portions of the assembly will be applied at any given station.
 Since the ConditionalCutOrFill subassembly uses targets, you must set targets on any
ConditionalCutOrFill subassemblies before modeling (generating) the corridor. For more information,
see To Specify Corridor Targets.
 Unlike most other subassemblies, the ConditionalCutOrFill subassembly does not create any points,
links, or shapes in modeling mode.

Multiple ConditionalCutOrFill Subassemblies

Multiple ConditionalCutOrFill subassemblies may be attached to a common point on an assembly. This includes
multiple cut and or multiple fill ConditionalCutOrFill subassemblies, as shown in the following illustration.

Basin Elevation May be used to override the fixed Basin Depth and tie the Optional
elevation of the basin to a profile (or other object type). The
following object types can be used as targets for specifying the
elevation: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey figures.

Daylight Surface Name of the daylighting surface. The following object types can Required
be used as targets for specifying the surface: surfaces.

Output Parameters
None.

Behavior
The subassembly builds the links for the basin foreslope and basin out to the basin test point. If a profile is given,
the width of the foreslope varies to hold to the basin profile, while the basin depth is held constant. If the basin
test point is in cut, the daylight intercept is calculated on the target surface at the given Cut Slope. If it is in fill, a
top-of-berm link is added, and the daylight intercept is calculated on the target surface at the given Fill Slope.
The daylight link is not inserted if Omit Daylight Link is set to True. If the top-of-berm link intersects the target
surface, the section is terminated at the intersection.

Like other daylight subassemblies, this subassembly optionally lets you add a lined material. You can specify
three ranges of slopes. Material type 1 is applied if the slope of the links is up to the specified slope value. From
slope 1 to slope 2, the second type of material applied. Similarly, if the slopes of links fall within slope 2 and
slope 3 values, then material 3 is applied. If the link slopes are flatter than slope limit 3, then no material is
applied.

If a lined material is added to the subassembly, then parallel links are added to the daylight links with specified
thickness. This thickness parameter (for example, Material 1 Thickness) is measured perpendicular to the
link. Bottom level links are coded with Datum and daylight links are coded with Top. Shapes enclosed by these
materials are coded with material name.

Note:

In Civil 3D 2010 and previous versions, the Material Thickness parameter was measured vertically. In Civil
3D 2011 and later, this parameter is measured perpendicular to the link. Therefore, if you open a drawing
containing these subassemblies that was created in Civil 3D 2010 or prior in Civil 3D 2011 or later, and then
rebuild the corridor(s), this parameter will be changed to reflect the new behavior. Any volume reports that use
this subassembly will be updated to reflect the new behavior.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly draws the foreslope, basin sideslopes, and basin bottom with the given input
parameter values. Both the cut and fill condition links are shown in dashed lines, with the daylight links extended
outward for a width of 3 meters or 10 feet at the given slopes. The daylight links terminate in arrowheads
pointing outwards.

Target Parameters
This section lists the parameters in this subassembly that can be mapped to one or more target objects, such as
a surface, alignment, or profile object in a drawing. For more information, see To Specify Corridor Targets.

Parameter Description Status

Basin Width May be used to override the fixed Basin Width The Optional
Alignment following object types can be used as targets for specifying
this: alignments, polylines, feature lines, or survey figures.

Berm Width May be used to override the fixed Berm Width. The Optional
Alignment following object types can be used as targets for specifying
this: alignments, polylines, feature lines, or survey figures.

Basin Elevation May be used to override the fixed Basin Depth and tie the Optional
elevation of the basin to a profile. The following object types
can be used as targets for specifying this elevation: profiles,
3D polylines, feature lines, or survey figures.
 Parameter Description Status

Berm Height Allows the height of the berm to be overridden. The Optional
Profile following object types can be used as targets for specifying
this height: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey
figures.

Daylight Surface Name of the daylighting surface. The following object types Required
can be used as targets for specifying this surface: surfaces.

Output Parameters
None.

Behavior
This subassembly builds the links for the basin foreslope and the basin out to the basin test point. If a profile is
given, the width of the foreslope varies to hold to the basin profile. If the basin test point is in cut, the daylight
intercept is calculated on the target surface at the given cut slope.

If it is in fill, and Berm is set to Include, a top-of-berm link is added, and the daylight intercept is calculated on the
target surface at the given Fill Slope. The daylight link is not inserted if Omit Daylight Link is set to True. If the
top-of-berm link intersects the target surface, the section is terminated at the intersection.

If it is in fill, and Berm is set to Omit, a link is added from the attachment point at the Clear Zone Slope until the
Clear Zone Width is met. Then a daylight link is added to the target surface at the fill slope specified. If the clear
zone link intersects existing ground, it will stop at this intersection point.

Like other daylight subassemblies, this subassembly optionally lets you add a lined material. You can specify
three ranges of slopes. Material type 1 is applied if the slope of the links is up to the specified slope value. From
slope 1 to slope 2, the second type of material is applied. Similarly, if the slopes of links fall within slope 2 and
slope 3 values, then material 3 is applied. If the link slopes are flatter than slope limit 3, then no material is
applied.

If a lined material is added to the subassembly, then parallel links are added to the daylight links with specified
thickness. This thickness parameter (for example, Material 1 Thickness) is measured perpendicular to the
link. Bottom level links are coded with Datum, and daylight links are coded with Top. Shapes enclosed by these
materials are coded with material name (Material 1 Name, Material 2 Name, or Material 3 Name).

Note:

In Civil 3D 2010 and previous versions, the Material Thickness parameter was measured vertically. In Civil
3D 2011 and later, this parameter is measured perpendicular to the link. Therefore, if you open a drawing
containing these subassemblies that was created in Civil 3D 2010 or prior in Civil 3D 2011 or later, and then
rebuild the corridor(s), this parameter will be changed to reflect the new behavior. Any volume reports that use
this subassembly will be updated to reflect the new behavior.

In layout mode, this subassembly draws the foreslope, basin side slopes, and basin bottom with the given input
parameter values. Both the cut and fill condition links are shown in dashed lines, with the daylight links extended

pointing outwards.

more information, see To Specify Corridor Targets.

Parameter Description Status

Daylight Surface Name of the daylighting surface. The following object types Required
can be used as targets for specifying the surface: surfaces.

Output Parameters
Parameter Description Type

Daylight Offset Offset of the daylight point Numeric

Daylight Elevation Elevation of the daylight point Numeric

Behavior
The initial hinge point is set at the attachment point. The hinge point elevation is checked against the target
surface to determine if the section is in the cut or fill condition. An intercept is calculated to the target surface
using the given Cut Slope or Fill Slope. If the height to the intercept exceeds the Max Height, the link with the
Max Height is inserted, and the bench link is added. The hinge point is reset to the outside edge of the bench
and the process is repeated until a daylight link is found that does not exceed the Max Height.

Like other daylight subassemblies, this subassembly optionally lets you add a lined material. You can specify
three ranges of slopes. Material type 1 is applied if the slope of the links is up to the specified slope value. From
slope 1 to slope 2, the second type of material applied. Similarly, if the slopes of links fall within slope 2 and
slope 3 values, then material 3 is applied. If the link slopes are flatter than slope limit 3, then no material is
applied.

If a lined material is added to the subassembly, then parallel links are added to the daylight links with specified
thickness. This thickness parameter (for example, Material 1 Thickness) is measured perpendicular to the
link. Bottom level links are coded with Datum and daylight links are coded with Top. Shapes enclosed by these
materials are coded with material name.

Note:

In Civil 3D 2010 and previous versions, the Material Thickness parameter was measured vertically. In Civil
3D 2011 and later, this parameter is measured perpendicular to the link. Therefore, if you open a drawing
containing these subassemblies that was created in Civil 3D 2010 or prior in Civil 3D 2011 or later, and then
rebuild the corridor(s), this parameter will be changed to reflect the new behavior. Any volume reports that use
this subassembly will be updated to reflect the new behavior.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly draws the initial cut and fill slopes to their maximum heights, a single bench,
followed by cut and fill daylight slopes for half the maximum heights. The daylight links terminate with an
arrowhead pointing outwards.

LaneFromTaperedMedian1

This subassembly inserts one or more travel lanes outward at a constant grade from an alignment that defines
the edge of a median that tapers to allow for left-turn lanes.

The alignment defining the edge of the median may at times be either not present (Case 1), outside the roadway
centerline (Case 2), or inside of the centerline (Case 3). To use this subassembly you should have separate
alignments defining the left and right edges of the median. It may be necessary to define separate corridor
model regions for each individual median.
Attachment
The attachment point is at the location where the inside edge-of-traveled-way would be if there was no median.
This is typically at the assembly baseline, but may be at any marker point on the assembly.

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.

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.

Parameter Description Status

Median Edge May be used to shift the starting offset of the lane to follow an Optional
edge-of-median alignment. The following object types can be
used as targets for specifying this: alignments, polylines, feature
lines, or survey figures.

Lane Width May be used to shift the ending offset of the lane to follow an Optional
edge-of-lane alignment. The following object types can be used
as targets for specifying the width: alignments, polylines, feature
lines, or survey figures.

Outside Elevation May be used to override the normal lane slope and tie the outer Optional
edge of the travel lane to the elevation of a profile. The following
object types can be used as targets for specifying the elevation:
profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey figures.

Output Parameters
 Parameter Description Type

Lane Width Width of the lane Numeric

Lane %Slope % slope of the lane Numeric

Behavior
Outside Edge-of-Traveled-Way: The width to the outside edge-of-traveled-way can be defined by a fixed
numeric width, or an alignment can be used to override the width. The elevation is determined by applying the
specified slope for the width of the lane, unless an Outside Elevation profile is given. In that case, the outside
edge elevation is tied to the profile, and the slope is adjusted.

The location of the inside edge-of-traveled-way is calculated based on the three cases shown in the preceding
diagram. If no Median Edge alignment is given, or the given one is not found at a station, the inside edge is held
at the attachment point (Case 1). If a Median Edge alignment is given, and that alignment is outside the lane’s
attachment point, the inside edge is shifted outward from the attachment point at lane slope (Case 2). If the
Median Edge alignment is inside the lane’s attachment point, the inside edge is shifted inward from the
attachment point at the lane slope (Case 3).

Inside and Outside Adjustments: The Inside Adjustment and Outside Adjustment parameters are provided in
case the alignment used for the median edge or lane edge is at a fixed offset from the actual edge-of-traveled-
way. For example, the alignment being used for the Median Edge may be at the back-of-curb instead of at the
pavement edge. In this case the Inside Adjustment parameter should be set to the width of the curb.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly displays the links comprising the lane for the given width and slope. If a
superelevation slope is given (LI or LO), the links are displayed at a slope of -2%.

LaneFromTaperedMedian2

This subassembly inserts one or more travel lanes outward from an alignment that defines the edge of a median.

The alignment defining the edge of the median may at times be either not present (Case 1), outside the roadway
centerline (Case 2), or inside the centerline (Case 3).

To use this subassembly, you should have separate alignments defining the left and right edges of the median. It
may be necessary to define separate corridor model regions for each individual median. This subassembly
differs from LaneFromTaperedMedian1 in that it provides for a grade break with different slopes in the travel
lanes.

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.

Parameter Description Status

Median Edge May be used to shift the starting offset of the lane to follow an Optional
edge-of-median alignment. The following object types can be
used as targets for specifying this: alignments, polylines, feature
lines, or survey figures.

Inside Lane Width May be used to override the fixed Inside Lane Width and tie the Optional
grade break to an offset alignment. The following object types
can be used as targets for specifying the width: alignments,
polylines, feature lines, or survey figures.

Outside Lane Width May be used to override the fixed Outside Lane Width and tie Optional
the edge-of-lane to an offset alignment. The following object
types can be used as targets for specifying the width:
alignments, polylines, feature lines, or survey figures.

Outside Elevation May be used to override the normal lane slope and tie the outer Optional
edge of the travel lane to the elevation of a profile. The
following object types can be used as targets for specifying the
elevation: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey figures.

Adjustments During Superelevation.

Inside Lane Width Width of the inside lane Numeric

Inside Lane %Slope % slope of the inside lane Numeric

Outside Lane Width Width of the outside lane Numeric

Outside Lane %Slope % slope of the outside lane Numeric

Behavior
Grade Break: The width from the attachment point outwards to the grade break between the inside and outside
lanes can be defined by a fixed numeric width, or an alignment can be used to override the width. The elevation
at the grade break is determined by applying the specified slope for the inside lane across the width of the lane.

Outside Edge-of-Traveled-Way: The width to the outside edge-of-traveled-way can be defined by a fixed
numeric width, or an alignment can be used to override the width. The elevation is determined by applying the
specified slope for the width of the lane, unless an Outside Elevation profile is given. In that case, the outside
edge elevation is tied to the profile, and the slope is adjusted.

Inside Edge-of-Traveled-Way: The location of the inside edge-of-traveled-way is calculated based on the three
cases shown in the previous diagram. If a Median Edge alignment is given, and that alignment is outside of the
lane’s attachment point, the inside edge is shifted outward from the attachment point at the lane slope (Case 2).
If the Median Edge alignment is inside of the lane’s attachment point, the inside edge is shifted inward from the
attachment point at the inside lane slope (Case 3). If no Median Edge alignment is given, or the given one is not
found at a station, the inside edge is held at the attachment point (Case 1).

Inside and Outside Adjustments: The Inside Adjustment and Outside Adjustment parameters are provided in
case the alignments used for the inside or outside edges are at a fixed offset from the actual edge-of-traveled-
way. For example, the alignment being used for the Median Edge may be at the back-of-curb instead of at the
pavement edge. In this case, the Inside Adjustment parameter should be set to the width of the curb.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly displays the links comprising the lanes for the given widths and slopes. If a
superelevation slope is given (LI or LO), the links are displayed at a slope of -2%.

Output Parameters
Parameter Description Type

Lane Width Width of the lane Numeric

Lane %Slope % slope of the lane Numeric

Behavior
Each layer has its own separate extension options both on the inside and outside. The inside and outside
extensions specify the additional width on the inside or outside relative to the pavement layer immediately
above.

Example 1:

In the following example, the Pave4 Inside Extended Width is 0.5 meters. The Pave4 Outside Extended Width is
zero. If this subassembly is inserted on the right side, it is drawn as shown in the following illustration.

Example 2:
In the following example, the Pave4 Inside Extended Width is 0.5 meters. The Pave4 Outside Extended Width is
0.6 meters. If this subassembly is inserted on the right side, it is drawn as shown in the following illustration.

The extension widths will always be specified as positive widths.

The pavements layer widths may be specified using the following methods:

 by specifying that the pavement width be the same as the pavement immediately above
 by specifying a pavement width
 by specifying an inside and outside pavement layer extended width so that pavement layer width will be
the distance between the inside and outside offsets
 by specifying an inside pavement layer extended width and pavement width so that the outside
pavement layer is automatically calculated

Breakover removal is required if there is a change in slope of pavement while applying superelevation.

Output Parameters
Parameter Description Type

Lane Width Width of the lane Numeric

Lane %Slope % slope of the lane Numeric

Behavior
Each layer has its own separate extension options both on the inside and outside. The inside and outside
extensions specify the additional width on the inside or outside relative to the pavement layer immediately
above.

Example 1:

Pave4 Inside Extended Width = 0.5m

Pave4 Outside Extended Width = 0m

If inserted on the right side,

Example 2:

Pave4 Inside Extended Width = 0.5m

Pave4 Outside Extended Width = 0.6m

If inserted on the right side,

The extension widths will always be specified as positive widths.

The pavements layer widths may be specified using the following methods:

 By specifying that the pavement width will be the same as the pavement immediately above.
 By specifying a pavement width.

By specifying an inside and outside pavement layer extended width so that pavement layer width will be the
distance between the inside and outside offsets.

By specifying an inside pavement layer extended width and pavement width so that the outside pavement layer
is automatically calculated.

Breakover removal is required if there is a change in slope of pavement while applying superelevation.

LaneOutsideSuperWithWidening

This subassembly inserts a travel lane, applying the Outside Lane superelevation slope value, and widens the
pavement at superelevated regions.

It can be used for most undivided roads, or divided roads with no lane slope break on either side. It may also be
used for the outside lanes of divided crowned or broken-back highways. The pavement structure follows the
standards described in “Pavement Structure on Paved Sections” in the Autodesk Civil 3D Help. The only
difference between this subassembly and the LaneOutsideSuper subassembly is that this subassembly also
widens the pavement width in superelevated regions of the corridor.

Parameter Description Status

Width May be used to override the fixed lane Width and tie the edge- Optional
of-lane to an offset alignment. The following object types can
be used as targets for specifying the width: alignments,
polylines, feature lines, or survey figures.

Outside Elevation May be used to override the normal lane slope and tie the Optional
outer edge of the travel lane to the elevation of a profile. The
following object types can be used as targets for specifying
the elevation: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey
figures.

Output Parameters
Parameter Description Type

Lane Width Width of the lane Numeric

Lane %Slope % slope of the lane Numeric

Behavior
The Outside Lane superelevation slope is obtained from the superelevation specifications for the baseline
alignment. Starting at the attachment point, a finish grade surface and parallel subgrade are inserted using the
given width, depth, and the superelevation slope. Vertical links close the shape at either end of the lane.

Lane Widening

If the current station is within a superelevated region, then the lane width value is calculated as follows:

Width = Default Width + Pavement Widening

where Pavement Widening =

n = Number of lanes

R = Radius of the alignment at full superelevation

L = Length of wheelbase including the front overhang

The lane should be widened starting from the "End Normal Crown" and by the time "full super" station lane
should be "default width + pavement widening". If spirals are used, typically this widening transition length is
equal to the length of the spiral.
The key steps in completing this conditional subassembly are:

1. Set pavement widening to zero.

2. Get the default width from parameters.
3. Verify whether a station is in Superelevation zone or not.
4. If Yes, then find the radius of curvature at full super station (not current station).
5. Compute the pavement widening value from the equation mentioned in the spec (ExtraW).
6. Find out the station value of “End Normal Crown” in this region; and similarly find station value of “Full
Super”; find the difference as length along alignment to distribute (L).
7. Divide ExtraW by L and get that factor RateW.
8. For the current station, find the difference between “end normal crown” station and current station
(DeltaL).
9. Multiply RateW by DeltaL to get DeltaW for the current station.
10. Add the DeltaW to the default Width provided in the subassembly properties.
11. Hence, the new width at the current station is = Width+DeltaW.

The DeltaW is the only parameter (note that it is not an input parameter) that is shown in the following diagram.

The preceding diagram is not accurate, but indicative. The black line represents centerline and the blue lines on
left and right denotes edges of different lanes on right and left sides (after design). The light (gray) colored lines
in the diagram indicate original right and left edges. The deviation of the designed edges is due to the provision
of extra widening.

If an offset horizontal alignment name is assigned to the Width during corridor modeling, the width of the lane will
vary to match the offset of the alignment.

Superelevation Axis of Rotation Support

This subassembly can be used with superelevation axis of rotation pivot points only in cases when the parent
assembly is built out from the baseline.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly displays all lane links using the width and depth input parameters at a -2%

Target Parameters: None.

Output Parameters
None.

Behavior
The center of the string line is calculated by subtracting the Crown Height from the attachment point, and the left
and right edges-of-traveled-way are calculated by applying the Width and Slope symmetrically about the
attachment point. The ordinates of the parabolic curve are calculated at even intervals along the string line, and
straight line links are added to connect the ordinate points. Parallel surfaces are inserted for the Pave1, Pave2,
Base, and Subbase surfaces from the given depths.

superelevation slope value for the corridor model’s baseline alignment.

It is used for most undivided roads, or divided roads with no lane slope break on either side. It may also be used
for the outside or inside lanes of divided crowned or broken-back highways. The pavement structure follows the
standards described in “Pavement Structure on Paved Sections” in the Autodesk Civil 3D Help.

Attachment
The attachment point is at the inside edge of the lane on the finish grade surface. This component can be
attached to either the left or right side.

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.

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.

Parameter Description Status

Lane Width May be used to override the fixed lane Width and tie the Optional
edge-of-lane to an offset alignment. The following object
types can be used as targets for specifying the width:
alignments, polylines, feature lines, or survey figures.

Outside Elevation May be used to override the normal lane slope and tie the Optional
outer edge of the travel lane to the elevation of a profile. The
following object types can be used as targets for specifying
the elevation: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey
figures.

Output Parameters
Parameter Description Type

Lane Width Width of the lane Numeric

Lane Slope % slope of the lane Numeric

Behavior
The lane superelevation slope is obtained from the superelevation specifications for the baseline alignment. You
can specify which superelevation slope is used for the lane.

Starting at the attachment point, a finish grade surface and parallel subgrade are inserted using the given width,
depth, and the superelevation slope. Vertical links close the shape at either end of the lane.

If an offset horizontal alignment name is assigned to the Width during corridor modeling, the width of the lane will
vary to match the offset of the alignment. This subassembly can be used in assemblies that accomodate axis of
rotation pivot points in different crowned and planar roadway types. For more information, see To Work With
Assemblies That Support Superelevation Axis of Rotation Pivot Points.
Layout Mode Operation
In layout mode, this subassembly displays all lane links using the width and depth input parameters at a -2%
slope.

When Potential Pivot is set to Yes, markers indicate the potential pivot points on the inside and outside
points.

LaneTowardCrown

This subassembly creates a cross-sectional representation of a travel lane that is being inserted from the inside
edge of pavement towards the crown point.

Note: This subassembly does not support superelevation axis of rotation pivot points other than Centers. This
subassembly has been deprecated and is available only in the Corridor Modeling Catalogs.
The LaneSuperelevationAOR subassembly has all the functionality of this subassembly, and it supports
superelevation axis of rotation pivot points.

It uses the Outside Lane superelevation slope value for the corridor model’s baseline alignment. The pavement
structure follows the standards described in “Pavement Structure on Paved Sections” in the Autodesk Civil
3D Help.

Attachment
The attachment point is at the inside edge of lane on the finish grade surface. This component can be attached
to either the left or right side.

Input Parameters
Note: All dimensions are in meters or feet unless otherwise noted. All slopes are in run-over-rise form (for

Behavior
The Inside Lane superelevation slope is obtained from the superelevation specifications for the baseline
alignment, and the algebraic sign of this value is reversed. If inserting to the left, the Right Outside Lane Slope is
obtained and reversed; if inserting to the right, the Left Outside Lane Slope is obtained and reversed. Starting at
the attachment point, a finish grade surface and parallel subgrade are inserted using the given width, depth, and
the reverse superelevation slope. Vertical links close the shape at either end of the lane.

If an offset horizontal alignment name is assigned to the Width during corridor modeling, the width of the lane will
vary to match the offset of the alignment.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly displays the finish, base, and subbase links for the given width and depths at a
-2% slope.
