Plateia Tutorials - Design Workflow (Reconstruction Tutorial)

INTRODUCTION

Street reconstruction generally includes the removal of all existing asphalt surfacing and excavation of the road subgrade materials. The road is rebuilt from the button-up, with new or reclaimed aggregate base and at least two layers of new asphalt surfacing. In the following procedure is represent how to design the road`s reconstruction using Plateia software.

1. Preparing Survey Data

Open the dwg file that contains point`s data and follow the steps that are described below. The commands in chapter Surface will guide you throw the operations to create appropriate input data that are relevant for the further processing. In case you already have the file of standard type (XYZ) and it contains also the data regarding the connections among the points, skip to chapter 1.5. Input Points from file and proceed following the tutorial from there.

1. 1. Change Point Type
   2. Edit Point Data
   3. Transform 2D Points to 3D Points
   4. Extract X, Y, Z coordinates from Entities to an XYZ file
   5. Input Points from File
   6. Generate Break-lines from 2D drawing and XYZ data
2. Surface
3. Create Horizontal Alignment
   1. Alignment Manager
   2. Create BestFit Analysis
4. Create Sample Lines
5. Longitudinal profile and superelevations
   1. Create superelevations according to the standards 
      1. Create longitudinal profile
      2. Define Superelevation
   2. Superelevations constructed based on the previously calculated data
      1. Save cross sections
      2. Create longitudinal profile
      3. Define Superelevation from ASCII file
      4. Convert POLYLINE to superelevations
6. Edit Superelevations and Curbs
7. Calculate Points to Create New Profile
8. Create Vertical Alignment
9. Create Cross Sections Views
10. Draw Typical Cross Sections Elements
11. Mass calculation
    1. Planimetry
    2. Quantity take off
12. Create 3D Model
