We are working on a roadway extension project for a site that only has a stub street. We have the EG ground sampled and the profile view has been created. My proposed grade needs to start from the end of the street’s concrete apron and needs to match the existing slope or I need a transition area.

This question stumped me for a minute.

In another sign that the Apocalypse is closer than you think, Bentley and Autodesk have signed a partnership agreement aimed towards better interoperability in their products. You can read the official spin piece here. Not sure how this all shakes out, but with WisDOT and a few other DOTs having very serious discussions regarding C3D, it seems to me that the boys at Bentley see the train coming and decided to try and limit collateral damage to their bread and butter. We’ll try and get some more information and watch for more developments.
What do you think it means? Comment below!
