Class Description: In this class we will look at a real world arterial corridor design. This design has been completed for a client and has many of the challenges faced with arterial design: superelevation, medians that cross the centerline of the roadway, right-turn bays, and transition regions. If you have tried to model these situations in AutoCAD® Civil 3D® and became frustrated because there were 80 different assemblies and only God knows how many regions that were developed to model the corridor and you finally threw up your arms in disgust, this class is for you! We will introduce the concept of design corridors, a systematic naming convention to keep track of where you are in the corridor, and design the corridor using only six very simple assemblies! To top it off, design changes are easy and dynamic, which allows the designer to focus on optimizing the design.
