Alignment Design
Alignment design is easy in Advanced Road Designjust click on
a polyline and it becomes an alignment object, complete with
labelling.
Alignment editing tools provide quick adjustments to the tangents, curves and spirals. As you edit the alignment geometry
the display updates in the drawing, including all labelling.
The benefits at a glance:
Click button conversion from polylines to alignments
Labelling is automatic, dynamic and fully customisable
Labelling is automatically set to be plan readable
Simple to use and easy to make edits
Create Bricscad alignment and curve tables

Alignment tables can

be created when you
create the alignment or
during editing. You
select the information
to include in the Bricscad table and update
it when the design
changes.

Road DesignRoad Networks, Road Reconstruction and String Design

Advanced Road Design combines template and string based
design and automates the inclusion of common design elements
such as intersections, kerb returns and cul-de-sacs, providing for
rapid creation and output of road subdivisions, reconstruction,
rural, highway and other design projects.
With three dynamic and interactive views of your road design
you can see the development of the plan, long and cross sections
as edits are made. Plan drafting updates as the design changes,
so you dont need to worry about revision control.
Centralisation of the vertical grading and cross section editing
tools makes designs simple and efficient.
Every alignment can be converted into a String for independent
vertical grading, so you can construct whatever design you need.
Long and cross sections can be
published at any time in the drawing
you control the sheet layout,
scales, title block and more. Save
and re-use plotting setups on any
project.
Point setout can be generated at any
time including external point files.
The benefits at a glance:
Template and string based design
Centralised vertical grading and cross section tools to
streamline the design process
Automates common road network elements such as
intersections, kerb returns, cul-de-sacs and knuckles
Comprehensive String design tools
Dynamic and interactive views for long section, cross
section and plan design and display
Multiple vertical design windows to create and edit
vertical geometry, including plan tracker
Multiple cross section windows to view design sections at
various chainages, with plan and vertical grading trackers

Road Network Design and Outputs

You can completely automate your road subdivision
processes using intelligent objects such as
kerb returns, cul-de-sacs and knuckles.
As the software understands the
interactions between roads, kerb
returns and cul-de-sacs, when
you edit any road vertical or cross
section geometry, the affected
kerb returns and cul-de-sacs
automatically update, including
updating all linework and
surfaces.
Road Reconstruction
The software has been
developed with road
reconstruction in mind.
You can develop multi
level sugrade layers,
apply independent
horizontal and/or
vertical control over
any part of your cross
section, match parts of your design to any surface, automate the
vertical design by applying resheet/overlay depths, and more.
With multiple cross section window
displays, you can track changes to
crossfalls and cut/fill depths along your
road design.
Using a String and modelling based
approach, you can tackle any type of
design, incorporating both new and
existing infrastructure into your design
model.

and other strings at user
defined chainage ranges.
This provides design freedom to model car
parks, retaining walls, wetlands or other design features.
Surface models are created and can automatically update as any of
the design strings change, as well as be shown in the cross sections.

Pipe, Stormwater and Sewer Design

The interactive vertical design windows make designing the pipe
branches simple see the pipe details in a design long section view
including all crossing services, with conflicting pipes highlighted.

Complete your pipe

designs and generate your
design outputs directly in
the drawing.

As you move pipes up and down and change pipe sizes you can
review the design impacts.

You can take any polyline

geometry in the drawing
and convert it into a
connected pipe network,
then view and edit it
vertically and in plan.

Service Obstructions are created directly from polylines and are

included in every vertical design window to avoid clashes.

For stormwater drainage

designers, assign
catchments and rainfalls and have the software calculate pipe
inverts and pipe sizes to accommodate the design flows. You can
generate long sections and reports of your designs.
