Kerb Return and Cul-de-sac Design

Lisa Stewart caught up with Matt Stephens of 12d Victoria recently, for a very popular Training Webinar about ‘Kerb Return and Cul-de-sac Design’. In this information-packed session, attendees learnt how to create basic kerb returns and cul-de-sacs by using the Kret Convert to Computators command within 12d Model. Matt demonstrated two methods for creating a kerb return using a super alignment, then showed how to incorporate kerb returns into a design, including discussions on the Apply MTF Manager, Snippets, and Chains. He also showed two methods of producing cul-de-sacs in 12d Model, including discussion of road widening envelopes.

In addition, we went through some first principles with super alignments (including converting to IPs or Elements), to see what these tools do for the designer so they can be modified to cater for more complex cases.

The Technical Preview Version of 12d Model 14 is already in use by many of our customers on Maintenance who attended this year’s 12d Technical Forum…stay tuned for details of our 2020 event if you want to get in the loop early for 12d Model 15 as these lucky folks have done this time around!
