TRAFFIC SIGNS

Insert Traffic Signs

Commands for inserting traffic signs on polylines or alignments and projecting them onto the TIN surface. You can insert traffic signs in 2D views, section views, and 3D views. Insert a single traffic sign or a group of signs from road databases automatically.

Edit Traffic Signs

Edit the parameters of selected sign holder and traffic signs attached to it. You can also change the base alignment, edit the sign holder parameters, add foundations, change the base surface, draw or hide a 3D view, or edit the scale for multiple sign holders.

Simplified Sign Placement (Station & Offset)

You can place signs more efficiently by defining the station and offset directly from the alignment or polyline. Either lock the station and set the offset, or lock the offset first and then define the station.

3. How can I create my own custom traffic signs?

Creating a new traffic sign is simple.

Draw the traffic sign in a new drawing.
Place all sign outlines on the KSS_LINE layer, all hatches on KSS_HATCH, and all text and attributes on KSS_TEXT
Copy the new sign into the appropriate folder located at %appdata%\KobiLabs\SignsAndStripes\Signs.

Your new sign will then be available in the library.

4. How can I scale multiple signs in a drawing at once?

You can use the Sign Holder Multiple Editor command to instantly update plan and section scales of multiple signs.

Choose whether to:

Update all signs in the drawing.
Update only the signs linked to a selected alignment.
Update only the manually select signs.

This will save you significant time on large scale projects.

5. How do I create a custom guide sign?

Kobi Signs & Stripes includes dynamic elements that make guide sign creation fast and flexible.

To create your own custom guide signs:

The completed guide sign can be attached to any type of post or structure, including:
- Single, double, or triple column posts
- Beam with 2 or 3 columns
- T or L holders
- Any custom 3D solid object in your drawing

All guide sign dimensions and date are automatically included in the traffic sign report.

6. How can I switch alignment for multiple traffic signs?
