I just put together the model in a way that a blended crown intersection would be modeled. So no snarky comments about how hard it would be to drive over this. That's fine. Take my model and design something with it. But if you have a blended intersection- this is how you model it.

The books are good in that they both give some background and process information in addition to picks and clicks. Additionally, there are things done in both books that have never been presented in a webcast. Not earthshattering new material, but new none the less. Hope this helps some, and thanks for your comments! To take minor exception, the webcasts took what we did in the AOTC Residential Grading book and put it online.

Thanks for taking the time to educate us as often as you do. Do you know if anyone has posted a guide dealing with parabolic road intersections? For the most part it should be similar to straight crossfall roads except there is no half-parabolic sub-assembly. Has anyone created such a SA and willing to share it? Or should I just sit down and learn some VB? Also, is the AOTC Intersection guide worth purchasing if you regularly attend the webcasts? I found the Residential Grading guide really just transfered the webcasts into a guidebook form. I'm not complaining about the guide, just stating my observations. Nice guide Dana.
