the inner edge using AutoCAD object snaps. All surface segments between these
region points will superelevate.
The grade between the two points is used as the base grade for the normal
crown condition when calculating superelevation.
After picking the two region points, select the outer edge of the rollover region
if required. If the template does not have a shoulder that requires a rollover
region, then press ENTER at the rollover prompt for none.
Use the Superelevation Parameters command to define superelevation
parameters after defining the template superelevation regions.
9 Press ENTER to exit the surface control options, and then type SA to save your
changes.
The following illustration shows guidelines for picking these points:

Defining the Template Connection Points
NOTE
This option is not available if the template includes a subgrade surface
type.
To redefine the connection points on the template
1 From the Cross Sections menu, choose Templates ä Edit Template to display
the Template Librarian.
2 Select the name of the template you want to edit.
3 Click OK.
4 Pick an insertion point for the template in the drawing.
The Edit Template command inserts the template using the defined finished
ground reference point as the insertion point. The command draws the
template components and displays the subgrade surfaces and datum line on the
template as highlighted, temporary lines.
When the template is inserted, the following prompt is displayed:
Edsrf/SAve/eXit/ASsembly/Display/SRfcon/Redraw <eXit>:
5 Type SR for Srfcon to activate the Surface Control options.
The following prompt is displayed:
