This command uses a polyline centerline and the offset polylines to create a cul-de-sac. These offset polylines can be generated by the Offsets & Intersections command, or with the standard Offset command. The layer names of the offset polylines must match the layer names set in the dialog.
To run this command, pick a set of polylines and point on roadway centerline where the cul-de-sac center is. For cul-de-sacs with an offset center, pick a projection of that center onto the centerline and specify an offset distance (positive value is offset to the right, negative - to the left). Like the Offsets and Intersections command, a preview is shown of the cul-de-sac being designed. Any of the cul-de-sac parameters may be modified and reviewed before the cul-de-sac is applied and the drawing is modified with the Finish 2D button. The Finish 3D button opens the Elevate 2D Polylines command described in this chapter.
Bend cul-de-sacs are created by selecting offset entities on one side of the centerline.
Select all offset polylines to end
with cul-de-sac.
