Eagle Point Road Cross Section Guide

This document provides instructions for creating and extracting cross sections in Eagle Point Tutorial. It describes how to create and manage surfaces, extract cross section data between stations, edit the cross section data, create and manage typical cross sections by drawing them in AutoCAD using precision input commands, and define layers of the typical cross section. The precision input commands allow the user to construct the cross section elements piece by piece in a continuous manner starting from the initial crosshair point.

CROSS SECTION
Goto Cross section menu= > select Manage Surface. Goto Design tab=> click New Surface. Give name of surfaces and type Normal. Create following surface.
Pavement Close Manage Surface window

Goto Cross Section menu=> select Extract Cross Section Give Begin Station and End Station and other Options such as Stationing interval. Click OK Check Extract of Orig_Surface. Give Corridor Edges Marks Stations, it gives the require station for extraction. (marked all stations). Click OK it will create cross section information (cuts & fills).

CROSS SECTION
Goto Cross Section=> select Edit Cross Section Data. It will shows the Cross section data or extracted surface. Close this window.

DRAWING TYPICAL CROSS SECTION


Goto typical Cross Section => Select Manage Typical Section=> click New Typical Section Give name and Description and click OK Now goto Typical Section=> select Construction Typical Section. A new window will appear. Select Typical section which defined in previous step and click on Precision Input In AutoCAD a new file appear. Here you have to draw a cross section of Highway Road. It will be done by draw section on AutoCAD or by using Precision Input Commands.

TYPICAL CROSS SECTION


By using Precision Input Commands, 1st select a Starting point by clicking this button. Click on Intersection point of Cross lines on AutoCAD drawing, and press enter. Now have to construct cross section by Precision Inputs. The commands have to put here. These are the commands available to construct the typical section. Type the command on the second line and hit the Enter key. The window will ask you for the information needed based on the command. Keep using the Enter key, do not close this window. The typical section has to be created in a continuous way beginning at the crosshair point on the drawing. You have to draw only half of the section. RoadCalc can create a mirror image for the other side.

TYPICAL CROSS SECTION


Example, to draw the following cross-section:
2-lane undivided highway 3.6 m lanes, 2% crown, side slope ,2:1, Depth=0.5 m

TYPICAL CROSS SECTION


Start by clicking the moving crosshair to identify the starting point of the typical section on the drawing, type 1 for the PT code and hit Enter key. This code will establish the centerline of the alignment. For the next point, type dXS and hit Enter, type 3.6 and hit Enter, type -2 and hit Enter. This will draw a line 3.6m wide with a -2% slope. The code will identify the end point as the end of the pavement. Pt code 0 For the next point, type dXH and hit Enter, type 7.2 and hit Enter, type -2/1 and hit Enter. This will draw a line side slope with a -2:1 ratio. The code will identify the end point as the end of the pavement, PT code 0 For the next point, type dXdy and hit Enter, type -10.8 and hit Enter, then type 0 and hit Enter. This will draw a straight line side enter PT code 0 After completing these steps Mirror the Typical Section Right to Left by clicking this button.

TYPICAL CROSS SECTION


Click Define Typical Section A new window will appear Select particular layer such as Pavement and click Define button. After clicking Define button the AutoCAD drawing will appear Click within close boundary of particular layer which have to define This completes your drawing of typical cross section in Road Calc
