Projected Profiles | Introduction
Developed for Civil 3D production output, the Projected Profiles command in Corridor EZ addresses the challenge of integrating independently designed road features, such as parking bays or knuckles, into main road Civil 3D Profile Views.
The Projected Profiles command allows users to project string designs onto the alignment of other strings to create Civil 3D profiles. Unlike Civil 3D Superimpose Profiles, the Projected Profiles command projects the design IPs onto the selected string and adds vertical curves.
This significantly enhances the labeling of the projected Civil 3D profile by detailing the grade and vertical curve information instead of relying on a tessellated approximation.
Common applications include designs where it’s necessary to show the design profile for curb returns that connect to a road or when an independent vertical design for the left and right sides of the road needs to be displayed alongside the design centerline in the same Profile View.
Key Features and Applications
- Profile Creation Flexibility: Supports independent vertical designs, such as curb returns or profiles for road sides, displayed alongside the design centerline in the same Profile View.
- Vertical Curve Management: Handles parabolic vertical curves, with options to transfer or project curve geometry points.
- Profile Customization: Users can select styles and labels for immediate customization.
