Assemblies in Civil 3D



Assemblies in Civil 3D
After creating alignments and profiles, you need assemblies to create your Road model. A road model is formed by the combination of surface, alignments and assemblies.

In Civil 3D, an assembly is a object which is a collection of smaller units called subassemblies. These subassemblies are parametric in nature and are the building blocks of any road cross-section. Each assembly has a baseline with an attachment point indicated by a marker. The below Figure shows a road assembly cross-section.
