Creating Internal Road Platform in Earthwork Module

To create a road in MiTS 2, you will have to go to the Road module. However, for a simple road such as an internal road (yellow) of a residential area, the procedure is complicated since you will have to go through the road entities one by one (Horizontal, Road Width, Superelevation, Vertical) to create the road.

However, with a simple feature in the Earthwork module, called ‘Create Internal Road String‘, you can create an internal road in a few seconds. So, how to use this feature?

Step-by-Step Guide #

Activating ‘Create Internal Road String’ #

• Go to the Earthwork module
• Make sure you click ‘Edit’ button on the platform section
  • The platform edit feature will appear
• Click ‘Create Internal Road String’
• Click until the ‘+‘ symbol appears

Draw the Road Path using Line, Curve, or Arc #

You now have three drawing modes available:

• Line Mode: To create a straight segment of a road master string

• Curve Mode: To create an arc by specifying three points: the start point, a point on the arc, and the end point

• Arc Mode: To create smooth, rounded arcs with fixed radius

Note: You can switch between these modes via the toolbar shown at the top left corner of the input screen

Define Elevation and Width #

Once you have finished drawing the road master string:

• Right-click anywhere on the screen
• A dialog box will appear prompting for:
  • Start Elevation
  • End Elevation
  • Total Road Width
• Enter the values accordingly
  • The first point defines the start elevation
  • The second point defines the end elevation
• Click ‘OK’ to finalize

Final Result #

Your internal road will be generated automatically with a centerline string and assigned platform based on the given width and elevation
