    Default Do I need a custom subassembly?

    Hello. I am starting to model a fairly complex corridor I am trying to see if I can get away with using the stock subassemblies. I need the ability to control lane and material width(asphalt and sub bases step out further then the FP) as well the ability to control inner ands outer sub grade material height (at times sub grade follows FP with a crown, others I need to be able to run a constant 2% towards an under-drain or daylight). The stock "Lane Super Multi Layer" seems to satisfy my second problem, and "Lane Super Layer Varying Width" solves my first problem. Does anyone see a way this is possible with the stock catalog, or will I need a custom subassembly built? Thanks for any input.

    Michael here is an idea of what I am trying to achieve. "TYP 1" will explain the material thickness issue and "TYP 2" will explain the material width issue. Additionally I am trying to figure out how to model the areas of common embankment shown in the third image. The other quantities I was going to check either by the assembly "shapes" or by comparing the surfaces. For this little area of common embankment I don't see how either one will work. I welcome any input. Thanks Again

    The Shoulder sub-assemblies should do most of what you need, if they are not just a UK IE country pack item.

    I'm pretty sure you can do this with Generic Links....for the 'common' embankment, I think you might want to consider
    some use of a conditional assembly..and also Generic links, reason for this being the ability to add user defined link and point codes
    this will give you distinct surfaces to track these values.
