Novapoint Road Library

It is possible to create road models based on predefined templates.

Import of road models and respective alignments must be done in a two-step process:

1. Import of alignments and terrain profiles.
2. Import of available road model information and surface descriptions (this documentation).

To create a road model based on an existing road model project use the template From Existing Project.

1. Start a new road task.
2. Go to the drop-down for Template and select the template From Existing Project.
   - Pick the template for *.DMI for models exported from Novapoint 21.
   - Pick the template for *.GEN for models exported from Novapoint 20 or earlier versions.
3. Select the DMI/GEN file.
4. Select Calculation Basis for the road task from the active Quadrimodel (not necessary when creating the task).
5. Press OK.

A user-defined template is useful when creating roads where a larger number of tasks for calculation basis need to be set, and when user-defined conversion rules set is to be applied to the road model.

To create and use a template for road models do as follows:

1. Select a road model to create a template from.
2. Right-click and select Save as template… and choose an appropriate name for the template.
3. Start creating a road task and select to use a template on the left-hand side.
4. Choose to use a User Template.
