Create a copy of an existing corridor surface

Note

Because a corridor has a large number of dependencies, it cannot be moved, copied, rotated, nor scaled up or down. However, a corridor surface can be copied. You can then edit the copied surface.

When a corridor surface is copied, a naming convention is used. For example if the original corridor surface is named ‘Corridor - Datum’, the new surface is named ‘Corridor - Datum (1)’. If the ‘Corridor - Datum‘ surface is copied again, the new surface is named ‘Corridor - Datum (2)’. If the ‘Corridor - Datum (1)’ surface is copied, the new surface is named ‘Corridor - Datum (1) (2)’.

To copy a corridor surface

  1. In the drawing area, click the corridor surface. Right-click and click Basic Modify ToolsCopy.

    At the command line, you are prompted to specify a base point for the corridor surface.

  2. Click an insertion point in the drawing area.

    The corridor surface is pasted in the drawing and added as a new surface to the Surfaces collection in the Prospector tree.

  3. To edit the name of the corridor surface, right-click the surface in the Prospector tree. Click Properties.

    The Surface Properties dialog box is displayed with the Information tab active. The Name field contains the name of the copied corridor, which is, by default, “ <surface-name> (1).”

  4. Enter a new name in the Name field.
  5. To specify the description of the corridor surface, enter a new description in the Description field.
  6. Click Apply to make the changes, or click OK to make the changes and close the Surface Properties dialog box.
