About Positioning Sample Lines on a Corridor

Depending on the angle of the sample line relative to the parent baseline, a corridor section can be displayed in either of two ways.

Perpendicular to a Corridor Baseline

When the sample line is perpendicular to the parent baseline, the section reproduces the corridor assembly that is inserted the station at which the sample line intersects with the baseline.

At an Angle to a Corridor Baseline

When the sample line is not perpendicular to the parent baseline, the section samples the corridor model, creates a solid of the subassemblies that the sample line crosses, identifies features (such as links, points, and shapes) on the sliced solid, and then slices the solid to produce a sectional representation.

Note: When a sample line is drawn at a non-perpendicular angle, daylight links are not shown in section. To view daylighting in section, create a top surface of the sampled corridor, and then sample the corridor top surface.
