Now that's a lot of work. Wouldn't it be great if it was automated? Let's look at how Civil 3D has automated the process that we just did in the cul-de-sac design exercise for intersections. So it's not automated for cul-de-sacs, and not perfect for every type of intersection, but three way and four way type intersections we can use an intersection object. And that's what we're going to do. Home Ribbon, Create Design panel, you have a few different controls under the intersection, including roundabouts.
