Daylight - UXCADconnection

Overview

The UXCAD Dynamic Curb subassembly creates a configurable curb section with control over flange, flowline, top front, and top back geometry. It is designed to let the user build curb conditions using either fixed dimensions, grades, or target-driven control points. This subassembly is useful for curb and gutter conditions where the curb shape needs to remain flexible while still maintaining consistent Civil 3D point, link, and shape coding.

Primary Use Cases

Standard curb and gutter sections
Flange-to-flowline controlled curb layouts
Flowline-to-top-front curb face control
Top-front-to-top-back curb cap control
Target-driven curb geometry
Code-controlled corridor surfaces and quantities

Attachment

The attachment point is located at the Flange, FlowLine and Top Back Curb of the curb section.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Display Name	Type	Default	Description
Side	Side	Side	Right	Determines whether the daylight condition is placed on the left or right side.
DaylightType	Day Light Type	Daylight_Type	Slope	Controls whether the daylight is driven by slope or offset distance.
DaylightSlopeType	Daylight Surface Type	Daylight_Surface_Type	Slope	Controls whether the daylight ties to the surface using slope or grade logic.
DaylightGrade	Daylight Grade	Grade	-2.00%	Grade used for daylight projection.
DaylightSlope	Daylight Slope	Slope	-2.00:1	Slope ratio used for daylight projection.
DaylightDistance	Daylight Distance	Double	10	Offset distance used when daylighting by offset.
InsidePointCode	Inside Point Code	String	P1	Code assigned to the inside daylight point.
OutsidePointCode	Outside Point Code	String	P2	Code assigned to the outside daylight point.
LinkCode	Link Code	String	L1	Code assigned to the daylight link.

Target Parameters

Target Parameter	Type	Description	Required
DaylightSurface	Surface	Surface target used for daylight tie-in calculations.	Required
DaylightOffset	Offset	Optional offset target controlling daylight location.	Optional
DaylightElevation	Elevation	Optional elevation target controlling daylight elevation.	Optional

Enumerations

Daylight_Type

Controls how the daylight geometry is calculated.

Enum Item	Display Name	Description
Slope	Slope	Uses a slope value to daylight toward the target surface.
Offset	Offset	Uses a fixed horizontal offset distance for daylight placement.

Daylight_Surface_Type

Controls how the daylight interacts with the target surface.

Enum Item	Display Name	Description
Grade	Grade	Uses a grade-based daylight tie-in calculation.
Slope	Slope	Uses a slope-based daylight tie-in calculation.

Codes

Code	Type	Category
Top	Link	Standard
Daylight	Point, Link	Standard
Cut	Point, Link	Standard
Fill	Point, Link	Standard

Behavior

The curb is built from the flange point and continues outward through the flowline, top front, and top back geometry. Each major curb segment can be controlled by a fixed height, fixed grade, or target parameter depending on the selected control method.

Notes

Use this subassembly when the curb section needs to remain flexible across different design conditions without creating multiple separate curb subassemblies.
