If you’ve modeled driveways in the past, you may have found them to be one of the more challenging things to add to a Civil 3D corridor model. In today’s installment, I’m going to show you a way to add driveways using a simple pair of targets.
The workflow revolves around a custom part I created using Subassembly Composer. If you’d like to experiment with (or reverse engineer) this part, it can be downloaded here - http://autode.sk/2zoVhkR
To present the workflow, I’ve recorded a “triple feature” that walks through everything. If you are interested, I’ve provided hyperlinks to all three sessions...
Part 1 – “Exploring the Custom Driveway Subassembly”

Part 2 – “Adding Driveways to a Civil 3D Corridor Model”

Part 3 – “Modeling Driveways Along Corridor Curves”
https://youtu.be/RbBE5ba0a6U
Let me say up front that this workflow isn’t intended to be the “end all” way to create driveways, that being said, I do think it can be used to model many of them. In addition, I’m hoping what I show here may give you some new ideas, allowing you to take this concept even farther on your own.

Thank you so much sir!
