Hii,

So I've got a relatively simple corridor with basic instructions, 4m on either side at 3% slope, with a 1:3 V sloped ditch, tying into my existing ground surface.
On the very end of my corridor I've placed a Cul-de-sac. 

My question is rather simple, can I add an instruction to the Cul-de-sac? More specifically, it would be the same 1:3 V sloped ditch I've placed along my corridor.
It would be to effectively connect from the corridor all the way through to the Cul-de-sac, as you can see in the image below, it stops at the end of my corridor.

I am producing cross sections and I'm not able to do so for the Cul-de-sac continuously from the end of my corridor and would prefer that option as oppose to doing quick profiles.

1st thing is extend the alignment and continue beyond your propose design.  The only way I've done cudAsac is use the surface instruction.  Which is use a surface that is created already to import into the corridor.  The one thing that would not work, is the nose of the cudAsac.  So, I had to stop a few feet since it was closing in on itself at the alignment.  

if you don't need a corridor to build the surface.  You could build 3D lines and add to the corridor surface.

Hi!

Have you ever tried "Create cul-de-sac" command in TBC? It requires the license for InfrastructureConstruction or something like that. If you create the cul-de-sac with this tool, and define a corridor template and instructions to the main alignment, then it automatically extends the intructions to the cul-de-sac area.




Otherwise, you should take the cul-de-sac edge line (marked yellow in your picture) and create an alignment based on that. You could use "Append to alignment" command to do this. Then add instructions to the edgeline.

I need to try that again.  I did not have any luck using that command.  I do think that command is great if you are creating new design grades and do not have plan grades that make it difficult to use the cudAsac command.

The Create Intersection / Cul-de-sac commands are design tools, and I agree they aren't really usable with existing design line work.

Sabrina, use Create Side Slope. This brings up the corridor template editor without actually creating a corridor.

Can anyone guide me through the step-by-step process of designing a cul-de-sac road without using the dedicated cul-de-sac tool in Civil 3D?

Is it possible to join two corridors, export the resulting feature lines, and create a new surface at their intersection?

Also, how can I display the cross-section of a surface that was generated from these lines?
