Creating Alignment Strings from Non-3D Data in #12dModel | IP Method Explained | #TechForum 2021

*12d Model Training* Did you know there is an *Authorised 12d Model Training Provider?* The Civil and Surveying Institute offers *free and cost-effective training,* with access to *12d Model Student Software for 3–12 months* (depending on the course), allowing you to practise and build real skills. Explore training options at: https://www.civilandsurveying.com/civil-and-surveying-institute In this Tech Forum session, learn how to create *super alignment strings in 12d Model using non-3D source data.* This tutorial focuses on the Intersection Point (IP) method, showing how to efficiently build both *horizontal and vertical geometry* when working from 2D drawings, PDFs, or spreadsheet data. Presented by *Robert Burns (Extra Dimension Solutions),* one of Australia’s leading 12d Model trainers, this session walks through a real-world *intersection upgrade example* and demonstrates practical techniques to simplify complex alignment geometry. *What you’ll learn in this video:* • How super alignments work in 12d Model • Creating alignment geometry from non-3D data sources • Using the IP method for horizontal geometry • Managing arcs, radii, and back-to-back curves • Importing geometry points from CSV files • Editing geometry using the Super Alignment Editor • Handling problem radii and applying the Tangent Wizard • Adding and adjusting vertical intersection points (VIPs) • Applying grades and vertical curves from long section data • Verifying geometry accuracy with long section plots This session is ideal for *civil designers, surveyors, and 12d Model users* who need to build reliable alignment strings when full 3D models are not available. *About the Tech Forum* 12d Tech Forum sessions share expert insights, workflows, and real project examples to help users get more value from 12d Model in design and construction environments. *#12dModel #TechForum #CivilDesign #RoadDesign #AlignmentDesign #Surveying #12dTraining #InfrastructureDesign*
