Exporting Corridor Surfaces

Product Documentation
Intermediate

You can export corridor surfaces as detached (DTM) surface objects.

You export corridor surfaces, which are components of the corridor object, as AutoCAD Civil 3D surface objects. For more information, see Surfaces.

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

For information about corridor surfaces, see Creating and Editing Corridor Surfaces.

Note

Exported surfaces are no longer part of the corridor. They will not react to changes to the underlying corridor object.
