Summary<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
The GT_ROWMAKER<\/strong> command in GeoTools<\/strong> generates right-of-way (ROW) corridors<\/strong> by offsetting a centerline on both sides<\/strong> by a specified width. This tool is compatible with 2D and 3D polylines<\/strong>, as well as polylines containing arcs and spline objects<\/strong>, making it ideal for roadway design, pedestrian pathways, and transportation planning<\/strong> in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Features Include:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
Create Right-of-Way (ROW) Along a Polyline:<\/strong>\n
\n
Offsets the selected road centerline<\/strong> or alignment polyline<\/strong> on both sides<\/strong> to define the ROW boundary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Supports Various Polyline Types:<\/strong>\n
\n
Works with 2D polylines, 3D polylines, arcs, and splines<\/strong>, making it flexible for different design needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Customizable ROW Width:<\/strong>\n
\n
Users can specify the exact corridor width<\/strong>, ensuring compliance with design standards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Layer Management for ROW Elements:<\/strong>\n
\n
Allows users to select a target layer<\/strong> (default: “RIGHT_OF_WAY”) where the generated ROW elements will be placed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Option to Create Closed Polygons:<\/strong>\n
\n
Enables the creation of closed boundary polygons<\/strong> instead of just offset lines, useful for area calculations and visualization<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Benefits:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
Streamlines road and corridor planning<\/strong> by automatically generating ROW boundaries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Ensures consistent spacing and alignment<\/strong> in transportation and urban planning projects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Works efficiently with topographical and civil engineering drawings<\/strong>, improving infrastructure design workflows<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Enhances GIS and mapping applications<\/strong> by accurately defining right-of-way extents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
This tool is essential for civil engineers, urban planners, and transportation designers<\/strong>, simplifying the process of creating and managing ROWs<\/strong> in CAD environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
