You can control the default settings and styles for creating corridors and also edit or add data to corridors after you create them.
Right-click a corridor in Toolspace, or in the drawing, to display a context menu with various available options.
Use the Corridor tab in the ribbon to access most corridor managing and editing commands.
To display the Corridor tab in the ribbon, do one of the following:
- In the drawing window, click a corridor in the drawing.
- In the ribbon, click the Modify tab
Design panel Corridor. - In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, right-click a corridor and then click Select.
You can use the Corridor Properties dialog box to view and or change:
- a corridor’s administrative information, such as name description, and object style
- parameters such as baselines, frequencies, and targets
- code sets
- corridor feature lines, surfaces, boundaries, and slope patterns
Many of these functions can also be accessed from the Corridor tab in the ribbon.
Tutorial: Viewing and Rendering a Corridor
Topics in this section
- Editing Corridor Settings
Use corridor settings to specify the default behavior for corridor-related commands.
- Editing Basic Corridor Information
After creating a corridor, use the Corridor Properties dialog box to edit a corridor’s name and description.
- Setting Targets
On a corridor, you can set and edit the values of subassembly target objects, such as surfaces, alignments, and profiles.
- Adding Assemblies At Offset Geometry Points
You can automatically add assemblies to a corridor at offset target object (feature line or alignment or polyline) geometry points.
- Adding Corridor Regions
Add regions to a corridor model.
- Changing an Assembly in a Corridor Region
Specify a new assembly to use in an existing corridor region.
- Editing Corridor Parameters
You can edit corridor parameters, such as baselines, regions, targets, assembly frequency, and controlling offsets.
- Editing the Code Set Style
View and modify the code set style for the corridor.
- Editing Feature Lines
Use the Feature Lines tab to view the feature line codes and display styles or to modify how a corridor’s feature lines are connected.
- Creating and Editing Corridor Surfaces
You can create a surface from a corridor.
- Adding and Editing Corridor Boundaries
Use corridor surface boundaries to prevent triangulation outside of the daylight lines of a corridor surface and prevent them from being displayed or to render an area of the corridor surface as a render material.
- Creating and Editing Corridor Slope Patterns
Add slope patterns between a set of feature lines.
- Rebuilding Corridors
After making certain types of changes to a corridor, you need rebuild the corridor.
- Specifying Corridor Region Lock Options
Specify whether to lock corridor regions to either the geometry or stations of the parent alignment.
- Deleting a Corridor
You can delete a corridor, erasing it from the drawing and removing it from the Corridors collection in the Prospector tree.
