RBSdrafter Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Hello, I have a few driveways on the plan I'm currently working on and I'm having issues with how they interact with the road curb. I have a 24" flare on the ends of every driveway, and the curb will cut for the normal driveway dimensions but not for the flared portion. The problem is consistent with all three driveways and they are all STRAIGHT driveways rather than POLYLINE driveways, which seem to cause issues with roads. I've attempted this in another, empty plan with four driveways much closer together and had no issues so I'm wondering if it's a bug. All help or advice is appreciated!

Alaskan_Son Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Post the plan and someone will take a look, BUT I would start by trying to disconnect and then reconnect those driveways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try this and unfortunately no dice. Plan is now attached. Red Tail Ridge Phase 1.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitMan71 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Can't open..... 0 bytes. You should close out of the plan before compressing or attaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I've now realized that due to the size of the plan file it is still roughly 45MB when compressed so I don't think I can upload it in the normal fashion. If there are any other ways to make it available I will definitely try those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted Thursday at 12:23 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:23 AM You could post it to an online site, like drop box or one drive, where it can be downloaded. Or make a copy of the plan and delete all of the stuff that has nothing to do with the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roads meeting driveways often produce unpredictable joining issues. Don’t use roads with curbs. Instead use terrain features that you can shape easily. Use 3D mouldings to create curbs which you can also shape and manipulate as you want. More work but way more predictable and the connections will stay as you have drawn them as opposed to the automated curb feature in roads which, even when they do happen to connect properly that can all of the sudden disconnect and produce artifacts like in your post. This won’t improve ever either. But we’ll get cute new features like 3D dimensions that nobody ever asked for or uses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To your point, I opened the plan this morning and all the driveways were cutting correctly but the road was jagged where they connected. I don't mind working a little more if I can actually get a consistent result so I will definitely be trying the 3D moulding method. Thank you, Michael. It seems with these automatic features, the only way they save time is if you have exactly the right conditions to use them in the first place.

I'll be completely reworking the curbs for this plan so I probably won't post it, but this is great information for next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
