Drawing Preparation

Create a Site Layout
Check Geometric Integrity

Create Paving Match Lines

 

Create a Site Layout

ASE Civil needs certain fundamental information to start accelerating the work-flow. These required references include (but are not limited to) the following project elements:

​

Subdivision Core Requirements

  • Survey Control

  • Existing ground Civil 3D surface

  • Base Map (Site layout)

​

Recommended Components

  • Match Lines

  • Base Map geometric quality control check, audit

​

​

​

Base Map
Create a site layout drawing, also known as a 'base map'.
There are no naming restrictions on the base map, site layout or whatever your organization prefers to call this type of drawing.
​
Contents
The site layout should contain the final 2-D design geometry for the project, including, but not limited to:
​
  • Property lines
  • Pavement
  • Center-lines
  • Rights-of-way
  • Easements
  • Drainage features
  • Hard-scape
​
​

​

Check Geometric Integrity

Accuracy and integrity of geometry used in the creation of corridor design information with ASE Civil's design systems, such as centerlines, backs-of-curbs, pavement warps, etc.
 
In the site layout, check the geometric integrity of the lines & arcs that comprise the critical Base Map Control subsystem elements.
​
What To Look For:
​
  • Overlaid, duplicate objects
  • Endpoints disconnected
  • Non-tangent objects
​
​
​

​

Create Paving Match Lines

Create paving match lines before designing paving features.
​
Designate the linear span & horizontal design limits for each corridor design based on the project's sheet layout configuration.
