Novapoint Road Library

This function designs road access along any selected reference line.

• The resulted road access will be a 2D drawing
• Elevations to the 2D Road Access drawing can be defined using the Elevation Tools
• The function does not modify the road model or the database (Quadri Model)

Run the function from the following location:

MOUS_ICO Toolbar: Not available from the Toolbar
MOUS_ICO Menu: Road > Intersection Tools > Road Access…

Command prompt for:

Pick a line, arc, polyline:

Pick left or right side:

Preview of the road access will be drawn in AutoCAD with the default parameters.

• The preview is updated automatically when parameters are modified.
• The unit of linear measurement and angular measurement are metres and decimal degrees, respectively.

Defines the location of the access road on the selected reference line.

• The preview will glide along the reference line.
• Pick the point for the start of the road access, use snap modes for precise pointing.
• Alternatively, type in the start chainage in the dialog.

This function defines the end point of the access road.

• The end point of the access road moves with the cursor movement.
• Pick the end point of the road access.
• Use snap modes for precise pointing.

Use this button to move the entire road access.

• The preview will glide along the reference line
• Pick the new start point

• Station on reference line: Define the station number for the start of the road access
• Offset from reference line: Define the offset from the reference line
• The radius of approach edge line: Define the radius of the approach edge line. The parameter is related to the command 'lanesetup' (left lane driving/right lane driving).
• The radius of exit edge line: Define the radius of the exit edge line. The parameter is related to the command 'lanesetup' (left lane driving/right lane driving).
• Total width at construction: Define the total road width (left lanes and right lanes) at the access point.
• Total width at end of road access: Define the total road width (left lane and right lanes) at the end of road access.
• Distance from access point to end point: Define the distance (measured along the reference line) of the road access end point.
• The perpendicular distance from end point to reference line: Define the perpendicular distance of the road access end point from the exit edge line.
• Centreline on/off: Mark the check box if the centerline of road access is to be drawn.
