Introducing a tool to 'Simplify Horizontal Curves'

November 24, 2014

Version (10.2.13) of our Curve and Grade utilities is here.

This version includes a new tool named ‘Dissolve Horizontal Curves’. It attempts to dissolve/merge adjacent non-class ‘A’ polygons created in the ‘Construct Horizontal Curves’. Class ‘A’ curves can be absorbed into a dissolve if the length is less than the distance specified in the dialog. Curves having opposite signed radii are also not allowed to dissolve.

Maximum Chord Length can be specified for Horizontal Curves

A new version (10.2.6) of our Curve and Grade Utilities are available

This version incorporates the following modifications to the ‘Construct Horizontal Curves’ utility:

Added a textbox to the dialog to allow the user to specify a ‘Maximum Chord Length’. Whenever the distance between two points exceeds this value, the curve between these points will be considered to be straight.

This enhancement prevent the miscalculation of curvature around arcs that bend sharply with minimal vertices near the bend.
