Add regions to a corridor model.
Corridor regions are used to associate assemblies to specific station ranges along the corridor. Therefore, to assign different assemblies to sections of the corridor, you create regions.
Instead of creating one region for a long corridor, dividing the corridor into multiple, smaller regions typically results in faster processing time for corridor rebuilds and o ther functions. For example, on a 5,000 meter corridor, create five regions, each of which is about 1,000 meters long. This reduces the processing load when rebuilding the corridor.
To add a corridor region using the Corridor ribbon tab
- In the drawing, click a corridor.
- Click Corridor tab
Modify Region panelAdd Regions
. - If the corridor has multiple baselines, select a baseline. In the drawing, hover over the corridor region to highlight the baselines.
- Do one of the following:
- Specify the region start and end stations.
- Enter F to fill an entire gap area as a new region. After entering F, you are prompted to specify the region location.
- In the Create Corridor Region dialog box, specify a name for the new region, and specify an assembly. Click OK.
Note
If the assembly has offsets defined, the offsets are displayed as children of the region. For information about creating an assembly offset, see Creating an Assembly Offset. For information about editing a corridor region’s offset, see Editing Offsets.
- On the Target Mapping dialog box, set and edit targets the region.
- Press Enter to end the command.
To add a corridor region using the Corridor Properties dialog box
- In the drawing, click the corridor, and then click Corridor Properties.
- In the Corridor Properties dialog box, click the Parameters tab. Do one of the following:
- To add a new region after any existing regions, right-click the baseline for which you want to add a new region. Click Insert Region - After.
- To insert a new region between two existing regions, right-click the first region. Click Insert Region - After.
- In the Create Corridor Region dialog box, select the assembly to assign to the region. Optionally, you may specify a custom region name; otherwise accept the default region name.
The region is added to the corridor.
NoteIf the assembly has offsets defined, the offsets are displayed as children of the region. For information about creating an assembly offset, see Creating an Assembly Offset. For information about editing a corridor region’s offset, see Editing Offsets
- Edit the region.
