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. You are asked to identify the centreline string, if it is not already current. Then you set 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 is 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.
