Command Overview

Create road edge perimeter around defined centre line.

This command is used to create a three-dimensional road edge around a supplied road centreline string, that also honours supplied elevation and gradient parameters. The user will be requested to identify the required centreline string, if it is not already current. Then the user must supply the road width, and two of the three prompted parameters for road gradient, start and end elevation. For example, if the start and end elevations are supplied, then the gradient will be calculated from the plan length of the centreline and these elevation values. The missing parameter should have "-" typed in at the prompt.

Tip: Whilst digitizing, you can complete the digitizing operation by double-clicking or double-tapping the final string vertex position. You can also complete the digitizing operation by closing the string.
