Create Curb Profiles

This command allows you to build separate profiles (*.PRO) representing each daylighting portion of a curb section such as edge of pavement, gutter, face of curb and back of curb. These can then be drawn and plotted along side other profiles such as edge of pavement, centerline, ditch and sewer profiles.


Station determines which Curb Section is applied.

Curb displays Curb Section to be applied at station.

Description Used to a place label along profile if Description matches Description from the Description Table.

Transition determines if Curb Section will hold Curb Section geometry or perform a linear transition to next Curb Section station.

Add Row adds a Curb Section to the list of stations.

Remove Row deletes the highlighted Curb Section from the list of stations.
Library allows you to select a Curb Section already defined by Carlson or one you have created in a previous project using the Curb Section Library.
Settings to help you specify which of the profiles are created; the prefix that is applied; the color in the dialog box and whether or not these profiles are linked to the road profile.
Curve Station specifies an interval or 'densification' along vertical curves for each curb profile such that they appear curved.
Description Table allows you to automatically label the curb profiles. Enter a Description for the curb section and enter the same description in the Description Table and the desired label to be placed along the profile. You can also specify a symbol to be placed at that location.

Curb Section Library

Select a curb already defined by Carlson or one you have created in a previous project using the Curb Section Library.


New Curb Section creates a new Curb Section.

Modify Curb Section modifies the highlighted Curb Section.

Delete Curb Section removes Curb Section from the Library.

New / Modify Curb Section

Create or modify a new curb section calculating profiles. Using the illustration as a guide on the New/Modify dialog boxes, enter the dimensions of the curb section using the Edge of Pavement (EOP) as the 'origin' or baseline for entering horizontal (Offsets) and vertical dimensions. For example, use positive offset values for the Gutter Offset; Face of Curb Offset and Back of Curb Offset as measured from the EOP toward the right. For heights above the edge of pavement such as Face of Curb and Back of Curb, use positive values above the Edge of pavement, and negative for Gutter if below the EOP. For the initial Depth of the Curb at the EOP, enter a positive value for the Depth even though this is below the EOP. NOTE: The Description entered here appears under the Curb heading on the main Curb Profiles dialog box and is not used for the purposes of labelling using the Description Table.


Description used to identify the Curb Section in the Library.

Gutter is the depth of gutter from the EOP, usually displayed as a negative value.

Gutter Offset is the bottom of gutter measured horizontally from the EOP.

Face of Curb is the height of the face of curb measured above the EOP.

Face of Curb Offset is measured horizontally from the EOP.

Back of Curb is the height of the back of curb measured above the EOP.

Back of Curb Offset is measured horizontally from the EOP.

Depth displays the depth of Curb Section at the EOP and entered as a positive value.

Settings

Specify which of the profiles are created; the prefix that is applied; the color in the dialog box and whether or not these profiles are linked to the road profile.


Link To Files determines how changes to the main road profile file affect curb profiles.

Profile Suffix is the suffix applied to the named curb profile (*.PRO) of the EOP, Gutter, Face and Back of Curb profiles.

Select allows you to set the color of the profile as displayed in the Curb Profiles dialog box. NOTE: This does not affect the color of the drawn profile in CAD.

Create toggles which profiles you are creating for all the curb profiles.

Description Table

Automatically label the curb profiles based on the Draw Stacked Labels using the Draw Profile command. The label is selected based on the description of the curb station. Additionally you can specify a symbol to be placed at the desired curb profile station.


Description matches the description of the Curb Section station. Used to determine what label and/or symbol can be drawn along the profile.

Label text placed at the profile station. You can use this in conjuction with the Draw Profile > Stacked Label to identify the Curb Section.

Symbol draws a symbol along the profile at the Curb Section station.
