Using Roadway Data for Finished

Ground Surfaces

You can place points into a drawing that relate to a finished road

design. You can use these points as data for creating a finished ground

surface that contains the roadway data.

For example, you can create:

■

Existing ground, top surface, and datum template points

■

Points based on template point codes

■

Catch points and daylight lines

The following illustration shows template points inserted into

a drawing.

You can process this point data like any other point data and use it to

create a finished ground roadway surface. You can then paste this

surface into the existing ground surface to create a composite of the

two surfaces.
