Create/Edit Section Templates


Icon:    		   

Introduction

Civil Site Design (and Stringer Topo) includes its own Template (Assembly) creator. This is a simple and intuitive interface which provides designers with the capacity to create any type of typical cross section shape required.

These typical cross sections (also known as Templates or Assemblies) can be created and/or edited via the Create/Edit Templates command.  Templates are applied to any String to generate design cross sections. 

The creation of appropriate Templates is integral to the String design process.

About the Form - General Features and Display Controls

The name of the current Template is shown at the top of the form.  The form is split up into functional components, in the following general arrangement:

Naming Templates - Ground Rules

Special Note: Template Naming Conventions. DO NOT use commas in the name of the Template or !@#$%^&*() characters.

Creating Templates - Fundamental Procedure

It is recommended that the following commands are used to create and edit a basic Template:

  1. Create Template sections and batters, or edit the applied subgrade using the command buttons on the form.
  2. Edit the horizontal and vertical offset parameters using the Data Editing Form:
    • The left side (pink) represents 'segments', or subassembly links, progressively designed working from the centreline outwards to the left.  Each Leg is a line segment (Section) in the assembly
    • The right side (green) represents 'segments', or subassembly links, progressively designed working from the centreline outwards to the right.  Each Leg is a line segment (Section) in the assembly
    • Adjustments made to offset, slope, vertical distance or label will have an immediate impact on the Template view and on any Road (or Road Object) that refers to the Template.

Saving Templates - Public and Local

Designers are able to create 'Public' templates and 'Local' templates.  The differences are:

About Template Subgrade (Pavement) Layers

The Template Editor stores a list of Code pairs and assigns Subgrade (Pavement) Layers between each Code pair. 

For instance, when you create a code named LEB next to the centreline (C.L.), the subgrade layers you apply are applied between the two codes C.L. and LEB only. 

When you remove a Code out of the Template or change the name of a Code be aware that you will also have to account for the new/changed Code pairs that result.  It will be required to use the subgrade editing options on this form to re-establish the appropriate subgrade between the remaining code pairs. 

About Template Subgrade (Pavement) Layers - Advanced Controls

By default, subgrade (pavement) layers are defined between code pairs (with kerbs being a special case) with layers parallel to the design surface and stopping at the extents of the codes.

Advanced settings in the form enable designers to extend the subgrade layers beyond the codes, set a slope on the layer and set layers to extend down to the surface instead of maintaining a constant depth.  Designers are also able to set a different slope on the bottom layer of the subgrade, different to the top layer.  Below are some sketches depicting the changes that can be applied to the subgrade:

No Layer Controls Extension Extend to Design End Slopes Match Layer to Surface

 

About Code Naming Conventions - CRITICAL INFORMATION

When creating codes in the Data Editing form (This does NOT APPLY when creating data using the section/kerb creation forms) it is vital that the designer:

In general the following is recommended:

About Creating Kerb Returns, Cul-de-sacs or Roundabout 'Templates'

The software automatically stretches the road pavement of the Kerb, Cul-de-sac and Roundabout objects in order to match up the intersections.  In order for this to occur the designer MUST define these templates with an LDUM or RDUM (depending if it is on the left or right side of the centerline) code - the software stretches this code (including subgrade layers) out to match up at the intersections. 

When a Template is applied

When a Template is applied to the feature, the software stretches the label LDUM or RDUM (pending the direction of the alignments) to match up the intersection or, in the case of the Roundabout, to match to the outer edge of the circulating carriageway alignment.

If this label is missing, there will be no 'pavement' created to match out to the rest of the intersection.

Kerb Return and Cul-de-sacs - When an 'Auto' Template is Created

When creating Kerb Returns or Cul-de-sacs, the designer is able to set the template to 'Auto' - in this case the software builds the cross section automatically be reading the road sections at the start/end of these alignments.

In this event, the software does not automatically apply any subgrade to the design but DOES allow a 'subgrade template' to be applied.

Accordingly the designer needs to allow for the subgrades to be inserted.  Additionally, the coding for the alignment is not set to C.L. - it is set to the Connection Point Code (as defined in the Active Drawing Settings form).   

In order to accommodate for this, a 'Road' template should be created and include an allowance for the event where there is pavement working outwards from the Connection Point Code.

When 'Auto' is applied to the feature, the software creates a label pair between the Connection Point Code and RDUM/LDUM (pending the direction of the alignments) to match up the intersection.

Use the Set Subgrade on Insert command to create these label pairs in the Template being applied.

Creating Knuckles - Automatic 'stretching' of the Road Pavement

When a Knuckle is created and the option is selected to extend the Road pavement out to the knuckle alignment, an additional label called LNUK/RNUK (pending which side of the road) is used.  This label is automatically created AFTER the Connection Point Code.

In order for a subgrade to be assigned to this section of pavement, the designer must create Subgrade Layer pairs for the Connection Point Codes and LNUK/RNUK labels (for left and right sides).

Data Edit Tabular Form

This form enables editing of the tabular data describing the top links of the Template:

The left side (blue) represents 'segments', or subassembly links, progressively designed working from the centreline outwards to the left. Each Leg is a line segment (Section) in the assembly

The right side (white) represents 'segments', or subassembly links, progressively designed working from the centreline outwards to the right. Each Leg is a line segment (Section) in the assembly

Adjustments made to horizontal distance, slope, vertical distance or code will have an immediate impact on the Template view and on any Road (or Road Object) that refers to the Template.

Each Row of data correlates to a Leg/Section in the Template.  For each line of data:
Leg The Leg number is the Section/Segment number, working from the centerline outward.  Leg 1 connects to Leg 2, Leg 2 to Leg 3, and so on
Horizontal Distance This is the horizontal width of the Section

Subgrade Layer Adjustments A range of command options are available to make adjustments to the subgrade layers so they are not a constant depth between the two Labels.
  Datum Slope Adjust Method The bottom layer of the subgrade can have the slope adjusted so it is different to the top surface slope. Options are:
  • Use Value: The value specified in the Datum Slope Adjustment is used for the slope of the bottom layer of the subgrade
  • Add Value: The value specified in the Datum Slope Adjustment is ADDED to the slope of the top surface and this slope is applied to the bottom layer of the subgrade
  • No Adjustment: The value specified in the Datum Slope Adjustment is ignored.
  Datum Slope Adjustment Type in a % slope adjustment for the DATUM line - whether it is Relative or Absolute depends on the Datum Slope Adjust Method specified.
  Assign Layer Controls Click on this button to assign advanced controls on the behaviour of the subgrade layers.

Upon selecting the command the following form is displayed:


Note: the graphic window will update on hover over the different inputs
Outside Top Extension This option extends the subgrade horizontally beyond the Outer Label (working outwards from the centreline).

Type in a value: a positive value moves the top edge further out, away from the centreline.
Inside Top Extension This option extends the subgrade horizontally beyond the Inner Label (working inwards toward the Centreline).

Type in a value: a positive value moves the top edge further in, towards from the centreline.

No Layer Controls:

Layer Controls Applied - Extension:
Outside End Slope (1 in) This option enables the end slope of the subgrade to be changed from vertical.

Type in a value - the convention is 1: (Rise:Run). (e.g. typing in 1 would imply 1:1 slope, or 45%)
Inside End Slope (1 in) This option enables the end slope of the subgrade to be changed from vertical.

Type in a value - the convention is 1: (Rise:Run). (e.g. typing in 1 would imply 1:1 slope, or 45%)

No Layer Controls:

Layer Controls Applied - End Slopes:
Outside Extend to Design This option enables the outside edge of the layers to extend out to the design edge. The routine assumes extension immediately to the batters (last label before the batters). The top layer will not extend - it is assumed that the outside edge layer is where the extension is calculated from.

This option requires the Outside Top Extension and Outside End Slope values to be set to zero (off).

Use the Pick List. Options are:

  • No Extension: doesn't apply any extension
  • Fill Only: only applies the extension in fill conditions (checks the bottom of the layer at the end)
  • Cut Only: only applies the extension in cut conditions (checks the bottom of the layer at the end)
  • Cut and Fill: tries to apply the extension whether in cut or fill - in the event that no solution is found it doesn't apply any extension

No Layer Controls:

Layer Controls Applied - Extend to Design:
Match Depth to Surface Set to Yes or No.  If set to Yes then the depth of the chosen layer will extend to the surface up to the value set in Maximum Extra Depth.

No Layer Controls:

Layer Controls Applied - Match Depth to Surface:

 
Minimum Thickness Sets the minimum thickness of the layer in cut situations.
Set to zero to allow the subgrade layer to be removed in cut.
Set a value for the minimum allowable depth.
Maximum Extra Depth Sets the extra depth (in addition to the default depth) to extend the sampled surface in fill - if the depth extends beyond this value the layer will adopt the maximum depth (default depth plus Maximum Extra Depth value).
Set to a large value (e.g. 100) to always extend to the surface.
Set a value for the maximum extra layer thickness in fill situations.
Alternate Material for Extra Depth Not implemented
Description Set a description for the layer adjustment
Ignore Outside Extension This input is associated with the Outside Top Extension and Outside End Slope inputs.
By default, the start width of the layer is set by the preceding (higher) layer width.  Set to Yes to measure the extension from the outside Code (zero additional width)
Ignore Inside Extension This input is associated with the Inside Top Extension and Inside End Slope inputs.
By default, the start width of the layer is set by the preceding (higher) layer width.  Set to Yes to measure the extension from the outside Code (zero additional width)
Thickness from Existing The depth of the layer can be set based on the depth of the sampled surface.  Options are:
- No: do not adjust layer depth based on a surface
- Inner: find the surface elevation at the inside code and use that for the layer depth
- Outer: find the surface elevation at the outside code and use that for the layer depth
- Both: find the surface elevation at the outside and inside code and use this to set a lineearly changing depth between the elevation at the inside to the elevation at the outside
Note: this value will not be applied if the layer would otherwise have zero or negative thickness..
Description Set a description for the layer adjustment
Apply and Exit Apply the additional layer controls and exit the form.
Cancel Exit the form without saving any changes.
  Cut Tolerance Type in a tolerance value - the subgrade rules set in the Assign Layer Controls will be applied if the tolerance is exceeded in cut.  Leave this blank to apply immediately in cut.
