Command Overview

Generate a road design string between two existing contours. Essentially, this command generates a road design string between two existing contour perimeters.

Tip: The generated road string can be converted to a road outline using the string-to-road command.

Command steps:

  1. Load and display two strings representing contours.

  2. Run the command.

    The Road Gradient screen displays.

  3. Enter the Road gradient as a percentage. Default = 10% gradient.

  4. Select the start point of the road (on any contour string).

  5. Select the target contour string, implying the direction of the road.

    A new road string is created, if possible.

    Note: The face angle generated between the new road design string and the contour perimeters is determined by the default face angle and how the face angle is being controlled.

  6. Click Done to complete the command (or create more strings).
