In this demonstration, we'll systematically update this intersection to integrate assemblies from our main corridor design. This alignment process is crucial for maintaining design consistency across your entire project. Begin by selecting the intersection, then navigate to the Corridor Properties in the contextual ribbon bar. From here, we'll analyze each component to understand the current configuration before making our modifications.
The intersection contains several key elements that require attention: two curb returns and the secondary road assembly. Let's start with the secondary road modification. Access the assembly properties, open the dropdown menu, and select the "Dev" assembly option, then confirm with OK. This standardized assembly will ensure seamless integration with your main corridor design standards.
Next, we'll address the primary road configuration. Navigate to the primary road section, access the dropdown menu, and again select the "Dev" assembly option before clicking OK. Notice that we're working with a half primary road configuration on this side of the roadway—a common scenario in complex intersection designs.
For this particular half primary road section, we'll temporarily maintain the existing configuration rather than applying a new assembly. This strategic decision allows us to address this element more comprehensively when we tackle the curb return modifications in the next phase. Click OK to preserve the current settings, then proceed to the remaining primary road section located below. Apply the same "Dev" assembly selection process: dropdown, select "Dev," and confirm with OK.
Now comes the critical step: applying these changes and rebuilding the corridor. Click Apply and initiate the corridor rebuild process. The transformation will be immediately apparent—each corridor segment now achieves proper alignment and continuity. The corridor connections flow seamlessly from one section to another, eliminating the geometric discontinuities that previously existed. However, you'll notice that certain elements still require attention: the curb returns and the remaining half-road section represent the final components in our comprehensive intersection update.
Save your drawing at this stage to preserve your progress. In our next session, we'll complete the intersection refinement by addressing these remaining geometric elements, ensuring a fully integrated and professionally executed design.
