To design a carriageway with vary of width, user may click 
User may add the number of sub-rows accordingly and click the 
Road width Properties Spread Input will allow users to design road widening by editing the begin/end width and begin/end chainage.
Users may also select Offset Type: Linear or Cubic Reverse Curve.
Add Cutside / Toe Drain #
Reference project file HERE (can only be downloaded/viewed by online-reading)
Refer blog post for more info on ‘Difference Between CutSide Drain and Drain Reserve‘.
Add Cutside Drain #
Click on “Road Width > Spread Input > Click the plus button and choose cut side drain”
Change the dimension of the Cutside / Toe Drain #
Click on the three-dots to change the dimension of the cutside / toe drain and insert the dimension value in the editor box.
Second way of assigning the dimension is to change it in the Parameter Options, but bear in mind that the changes in the parameter will only be applied towards the newly created Cutside / Toe Drain.
Cross Section #
The cross section of the road can be viewed in the Output. Click “Output > Cross Section”
Based on the reference project file attached at the above, Chainage 0.000 is taken as an example, whereby the cutside drain is generated on the left side (cut area) and toe drain on the right side (fill area).
The dimension of the cutside and toe drain also can be adjusted in the spread input as explained in the above.
Any changes of the dimension in the spread input will be automatically updated in the cross section.
(EW) Keyplan #
Toe drain can be seen at the (EW) Keyplan after slopes are generated.
NOTE:
- Cutside / Toe drain size at Options > Parameter will only affecting the newly created toe drain (before slope generation)
- For cutside / toe drain that has been generated (after slope generation), the ‘cutside’ & ‘toe drain’ size can be adjusted at Road Width > Spread Input > CutsideDrain > click on ‘More options icon’ button.
