Components and Ground Surface Tie-ins
Components are the 3D model entities that get built, quantified, and paid for. 3D Linework define limits for Tooltip text, which provide spatial components, and the pathways forTooltip text.
Ground Surface Tie-ins can be as simple as a single cut or fill slope from along a proposed 3D linear element to the ground. It can be wildly complex. OpenRoads templates are not just for corridors. They essentially "extrude" lines and shapes along any 3D element. Additionally, End Condition technology allows complex If-Then logic to model virtually any defined slope treatment standard.
Linear Components, such as curbs, and end treatments can be modeled in separate steps - individual Linear Templates - or at once using a combined Linear Template.
Curb islands for vegetation within a parking lot would typically be modeled with a Curb-only Linear Template. Perimeter curbs would typically be run with a Curb-and-sideslope Linear Template.
