In-Depth Information
display warning symbols when certain design parameters aren't met. However,
behind the scenes, design criteria files are much more sophisticated than design
check sets, and you can use them to check more types of geometric criteria.
In this exercise, you'll apply a design criteria file to the Jordan Court profile
and then make some edits to address design violations.
1.
Open the drawing named
Design Criteria File.dwg
located in the
Chapter 07
class data folder.
2.
Click the Jordan Court FGCL profile, and select Profile Properties on
the ribbon.
3.
Click the Design Criteria tab. Check the boxes next to Use Criteria-
Based Design and Use Design Criteria File.
4.
Click the button to the right of the file path, and select the file
named
Autodesk Civil 3D Imperial (2011) Roadway Design
Standards.xml
(
Autodesk Civil 3D Metric (2011) Roadway
Design Standards.xml
). Click Open.
New warning symbols
appear on several of
the vertical curves.
5.
Verify that the box next to Use Design Check Set is unchecked.

◀
7.
Hover your cursor over the warning symbol farthest to the left.
The tooltip reports that the minimum passing sight distance isn't
being met (see Figure 7.11).
◀
Because passing won't
be allowed anywhere in
the subdivision, you can
ignore this warning.
This curve isn't meet-
ing the requirement
for minimum headlight
sight distance. This
is a requirement that
should be honored.
