Superstructure (Old Method)¶

Use this dialog to define how the superstructure is constructed.

Where can I find the dialog?¶

In the toolbox, select SFI Properties..., then go to the Road Body tab and open the Superstructure table.

Sections¶

Specify the superstructure sections using From profile - To profile. There is no limit to the number of sections (intervals). If there is a gap between two sections, no superstructure will be constructed in that area.

Editing in Tables¶

Activate a field in the table for editing by pressing [F2] or by clicking with the left mouse button. In edit mode, you can move between columns with [Tab] and [Shift]+[Tab]. Similarly, you can switch rows with [Up Arrow] and [Down Arrow]. The arrow keys can also be used to move between fields when not in edit mode.

Layers in Superstructure¶

The superstructure can be described with up to three layers:

Surface
Base layer
Reinforcement layer

Only intermediate surfaces (surface group 0-3) can have a superstructure.

Half-Cuts¶

There is a list of values for soil and a list of values for rock. When constructing the reinforcement layer, the program considers whether the surfaces are above or below rock.

Median Divider¶

Note

If there is a median divider in the road surface, you can choose whether to include a superstructure here as well. You can also select which layers to include. The example below shows a median divider without a superstructure.

VIPS Import¶

The import reads the contents of the VIPS table Superstructure.
