Retaining Walls - Road widening scheme

Steve Todd · Post by **Steve Todd** » Tue Dec 04, 2018 9:43 am

Hi Everyone, I am a new user of 12D and slowly getting to grips with its features having come from a Civil 3D background.
I am currently working on a road widening scheme which will require a retaining wall. My question is how would i best model a wall that will vary in height?
My current method involves creating a dummy surface from the existing top of embankment at 1:2 targeting the tin of my road design. I then offset my verge string 0.1m and called it RW(retaining wall), draping it on the dummy surface.
I was then able to use this string in my mtf to target what would be top of the ret wall.
Thank you in advance

Steve

Hi Steve

Do you have a typical section showing what you would like to achieve?
What version and build are you using (11.0C1q, 12.0C1p)?
You are welcome to email me the details.

Have a look at modifier
Fixed->Insert-> Insert XFall Intersect

That should do it.
