GGC Summary

GGC Automatic Pavement Extension (APE) is used to automatically extend the finished grade and subgrade lines to the outside proposed EOT or inside the median.The primary objective of ggc_APE is to minimize the creation of Geopak independent shapes with oblique form in problem areas.These problem areas include at median crossovers, at bulb type u-turns, and at driveways (without proposed horizontal and vertical alignments).

In the areas of the outside shoulders, the element which represents the edge of proposed travel way limits must be copied into the active GGC DGN file.Usually this is the green EOT line in the DSN file on level named "Prop EOT". If this green proposed EOT element is not present in the GGC file and not at the current cross section, then no automatic pavement extension is performed.

GCC ADHOC ATTRIBUTES

1. ggc_APE Location *
2. ggc_APE Label

* Value for ggc_APE Location is locked from being edited when intially placed by the D&C Manager. However, the Geopak Adhoc Attribute Managers can be used after placement to modify the value. It is NOT recommended the value for adhoc attribute ggc_APE Location be modified in anyway or manner. If ggc_APE Location is modified, Criteria may not work properly.
