To Export Corridor Surfaces as Detached Surfaces

You can export corridor surfaces as AutoCAD Civil 3D surface objects. Exported surfaces are no longer part of the corridor. They will not react to changes to the underlying corridor object.

The exported surface is comprised of breaklines based on how the corridor surface was defined (links or feature lines).
