New Custom Variations \u2013 V25.10 | ScriptX

YOU have the power to create your own cross section variations using ScriptX. ScriptX was developed so that you could write Custom Design Variations to set the rules of behaviour for codes in your cross section.

ScriptX comes complete with a dedicated ScriptX Editor and includes the ability to include user inputs to control the values and output to suit your design requirements.

To get you started, we created a number of Custom Variations\u00a0 in Civil Site Design V25.00 that expand on the standard variations on offer in the software.\u00a0 From V25.10, this list of pre-built custom variations has increased with the addition of the below

Custom Variation | Bay Widening

Generating a bay widening for a bus or parking typically requires an alignment (if the taper into and out of the bay isn\u2019t linear) or a series of linear variations.\u00a0 This custom variation provides you with a single variation to achieve a road widening (or widening of any other code) which includes:

  • Ability to set the start and end taper distances
  • Ability to select the way the taper is applied.\u00a0 Options include linear (straight line), bay taper (curve-line-curve), reverse parabolic (back-to-back parabolas) and others.
  • Ability to set the additional widening to apply as well as the length of the bay.

No extra alignments (or polylines) required!
