Visualizing Corridor Models by Assigning Render Materials to a Civil 3D Code Set Style

The geometry of a Civil 3D corridor model is defined using coded points, links and shapes. The display of these entities is controlled using a code set style that matches code names to the appropriate Civil 3D styles.  In this week's installment, we’ll take a closer look at the links that make up a corridor model.  Links serve as the cross-sectional geometry of a proposed design and are typically used to define surfaces and hatch areas.  By making a couple edits to the code set style, links can also be used to assign render materials!

The assignment of these materials represents the "trick" to visualizing a Civil 3D corridor model within InfraWorks!  If you are interested, I’ve created a quick video below that walks through the workflow…

Excellent video, as always Jeff! Thank you!
