Martini Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I started playing around in LDD yesterday and designed a road for my boss, but Im having trouble with the crown of the road. I made both sides of the road the same elev. just cause its not anything important just a road at the yard. But he wants me to put a 3% slope to the crown. Which I calced but I was playing with the create point slope method. But it doesnt seem to give it the correct elev? Its only a 20' wide road. So my question is whats the best way going about this?

Martini Posted April 8, 2009 Author Posted April 8, 2009 Ok so maybe is it possible to get AutoCAD LDD 2009 to calculate the elevation at a 3% slope up to the crown of the road if I know the elevation at the edge of pavement? When I put in 3% it gives me a point where I want it but at an elevation of 0.3 or 33.33 or 333.33 I have had all three instances today. That is using the points>create points-slope>and I have tried all three of those options. Quote
Hardney Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 With the point slope thing I guess it would be .03 because it is 3/100, so there is the calc. What I would suggest, although I haven't worked with LDD since 2006, as I remember it, I used to draw my template at first and then create it by the point by point feature, you do the to and the sub-bases. So like that you know what you're creating for the template since you've drawn the template prior to create it in a fashion that suits your needs... Hope it helps. Quote
