# Creating Internal Road Platform in Earthwork Module

To create a road in MiTS, 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
