Setting Up Data for Corridor Creation

Before you create corridors, you must have existing data, such as existing ground surfaces, alignments (centerlines), profiles (vertical alignments), and typical sections (assemblies).



Build the existing ground surfaces		Surfaces are used to derive alignments and profiles, and for corridor grading.



Design the horizontal alignments		Alignments are used by a corridor as its centerline.



Create the profiles		Use existing ground profiles and design finished grade profiles (vertical alignments).



Calculate superelevation or cant		Calculate superelevation for the curves on the baseline alignment. Important All calculations should be finalized before it is applied to the Corridor model. Changes in a corridor baseline alignment are not reflected in calculations. Changing the design criteria does not update the corridor model.



Plan the required assemblies		Use subassemblies to build the required assemblies.



Create and maintain the required assemblies		Before creating an assembly, identify the different types of subassemblies you need.
