In this topic we will build the assembly for the secondary road, 4th Avenue

  1. Home > Create Design > Assembly > Create Assembly
  2. Name it 4thAve-FullSection
  3. Insert it just below the other assembly
  4. Select each of the roads > copy and paste to the new assembly

  5. Select the curb and gutter and daylight assemblies > copy and past to 4thAve-FullSection

  6. Info: As the corridor enters the intersection there may be sections where it doesn't have daylight. For these we will create an assembly with just one side of the road. Because 4thAve does not go through the intersection but skips over it we will create a null assembly for that area.

  7. Copy the 4thAve assembly twice to just below it
  8. Delete the right subassemblies from the left copy
  9. Delete the left subassemblies from the right copy

  10. Rename to 4thAve-DayLeft and 4thAve-DayRight

  11. Home > Create Design > Assembly > Create Assembly
  12. Name it 4thAve-Null
  13. Do not add sub assemblies

Warning: It is important at this point to make sure all your subassemblies are named appropriately. If you haven't already take some time to rename them all so you can find them later.
