A New Aid in Intersection Design
Posted by Jason Hickey on 9th July 2007
Wow, it’s been a while, hasn’t it?  I’ve got a ton of ideas floating around for posts, now I have to make the time to get them down into text form.  Â
Everyone knows my feelings about intersection design in Civil 3D - there have been many discussions about how I feel regarding intersections.  As I force myself to become more and more proficient with intersections, I have grown to almost enjoy them.  However, some people just don’t understand the concept - they can get regions outside the intersection pretty easily, but the whole “create more alignments and profiles” makes the process pretty tedious, especially when those other alignments and profiles have to match other alignments and profiles EXACTLY.   Just yesterday I saw a residential subdivision that had a really nice road network designed, but all intersections were empty - grading those by hand negates the whole dynamic model, doesn’t it?  Â
A few months ago, I discovered a great tool that cuts my intersection design time down greatly.  It’s no magic charm, but it does take a time-consuming task and make it much more bearable.  Follow the link to find out what this tool is and how to get it.
