Workflow For Through Lanes

Best Practice: To create lanes in multiple sections without having to do them individually, create a selection set of the sections prior to selecting the tool. Drag your cursor diagonally across all desired sections. Your diagonal defines a square wherein the entire section must be encompassed in order to be included in the selection set. Don’t worry if elements other than sections are included in the selection set, they are filtered out during processing

  1. Select the Create Superelevation Lanes tool.

  2. Follow the heads-up prompts.
