Powercivil Road Design Basics

$
0
0

Apologies in advance for such a daft beginners question - I am new to Powercivil and struggling.

So far I've got my survey data in, built the TIN, created my model, and imported the TIN as a ground object and the base of that model.

Now I want to design a road. First thing I did was create a roadway object, and drape it on my model.

What I'd like to know is: 

a) How to build a composite section for that CL?

b) How to get two composite sections to transition

c) Where to set batter slopes

d) How to tinker with the vertical alignment

e) Where to find dynamic cut/fill calculations?


I know these are such basic questions, but I am really struggling to find a beginners tutorial on the benltey learn systems.

I think my problem searching for tutorials is down to my confusion over the terms; Powercivil, Inroads, Geopak. Is there alot of overlap? Does it depend on your region?

If you can help me with a) to e) that'd be great, but pointing me in the direction of an essentials beginners guide that suits my program, would be just as good.

Thanks in advance

(Also if it helps I am running Powercivil Version 08.11.07.221 in Australia)
