QUOTE: Originally posted by tomikawaTT Don, To create a spiral easement: 1. Lay down the centerline for your curve. 2. Lay down the centerline of your straight track so that it misses the closest point of the curve centerline by 1/2 inch. 3. Find that closest point. It will be where the curve diameter is at a 90 degree angle to the straight track.
