Hardscape alignment to roadway


lgoodkind

Question

I cannot get a hardscape to align with the edge of a sloping roadway.  The help states it should align with "The top of the curb (if Curb Width or Curb Height is 0, this means the roadway’s uppermost surface at its edge)".  However it will only align in the horizontal plane and it does not align vertically.  Is this supposed to be possible? or does the tool assume all roadways are flat without slope? 

 

The hatching also does not work properly with this type of hardscape either.  Looks like some improvements were made but per usual this time of year - not quite ready for prime time.

I've never used a roadway before but tried it + it worked fine. Obvious question but did you use an Aligned Slab Hardscape? You also need to set the datum on your slab to top of component.

The texture going diagonally on the hardscape you can remedy in the O.I.P. render tab. For 'part' select 'main slab texture' then try different map type settings below until you get it looking the way it's meant to.

I've had a look at the Roadway, and notice that it is created as a Roadway (Custom Curb). I am not sure that this is supported with the aligned slab - but I will check.

Meanwhile, I replaced your roadway with a Roadway (Poly), and now the hardscape aligns. I also edited the components, and set the alignment to be the top of the component, so that the top of the hardscape grades to the top of the curb (kerb).

 

Hope that helps.
