Most Civil 3D courses teach students to create and edit corridor models using the Corridor Properties dialog box. This dialog box represents a “one-stop-shop” for creating baselines, regions and surfaces. It is also used to assign targets and frequencies; and if you Rt-click on the entries, you can access even more tools for adding, removing or splitting components.
That said; if this dialog box the ONLY tool you use for corridor modeling, you’ll soon find that as models become larger and more complex, so also does the dialog box, which can make it cumbersome to edit proposed designs.
Today, we’ll look at some alternative ways to build corridor geometry that do not involve the Corridor Properties dialog box. These techniques can help simplify your workflows and allow you to take your corridor modeling skills to a whole new level!
