In this course, you will learn how to complete a basic rail design in Civil 3D, The rail design workflow is similar to roadway design only different design criteria and specifications are used, Rail designs typically use spirals to create smooth transitions in and out of curves, and apply cant (superelevation) to rails and ballast to counteract centrifugal forces, Civil 3D includes unique settings and design criteria for rail design that include measuring curves along chord lengths, rail alignment types, and rail assembly types, Civil 3D also includes a Rail tab where you can access commonly used Rail tools,
