Alignments from lines
Create alignments with lines and circular curves from polylines or feature lines.
MODULE 03 / 12 · ROADS & CORRIDORS
Shape the route,
station by station.
Design alignments, profiles and corridors that stay linked to the live terrain. Templates, target rules, transitions, superelevation, sample lines and road markings carry through to sections, quantities and reports.

Your engineers work in the desktop workbench; your agent reaches the same project through typed local tools. Items tagged In development are being built now.
Alignments
Batch alignments and profiles
Create several roads, alignments and profiles at once from open feature lines.
Join alignments
Join alignments while keeping their profiles.
Offset alignments and widenings
Create offset alignments and variable widenings on site-grid projects.
Stationing and equations
Alignment stationing with station equations.
Alignment comparison
Compare two alignments made of lines and arcs.
Profiles and sections
Existing-ground profiles
Sample existing-ground profiles from surfaces, survey points and feature lines.
Design profiles
Create and edit design profiles with vertical curves.
Profiles from survey points
Create profiles from survey points along line and arc alignments.
Pipe profiles

HAND IT TO YOUR AGENT
Three briefs to start with.
BRIEF 01
“Draft a corridor along the preferred alignment with a 7.4 m carriageway, kerbs and footways both sides.”
BRIEF 02
“Fit three profile candidates to the existing ground and compare their earthworks.”
BRIEF 03
“Check the design speed and stopping sight distance along the crest at chainage 0+420.”
