Chapter 11

Superelevation

Whether you call it banking, cant, camber, or cross-slope in your native land, Civil 3D’s superelevation commands will serve your needs. These tools have matured greatly since the early releases, and Civil 3D 2012 has added even more functionality.

Before you can understand the superelevation tools, you should have a good grasp of alignments, assemblies, and corridors. You may want to refer to the corresponding chapters for a refresher on those topics before attempting to put superelevation into practice.

In this chapter, you will learn to:

  • Add superelevation to an alignment
  • Create a superelevation view
