You can use the Corridor Section Editor to override corridor and assembly parameters and apply the overrides to a station or range of stations.
Edit corridor and assembly parameters as required, using the following methods:
- Edit the assembly numerically by editing the subassembly parameters.
- Edit the assembly manually by adding links and points to the subassembly part geometry.
- Resize assembly parameters by grip editing the subassembly part geometry.
- Insert or remove subassemblies from a corridor section.
Overriding assemblies may require you to edit the way points, links, and shapes are represented in the corridor as feature codes. Use the Edit User Defined Codes command to change or delete codes as required.
Tutorial Exercise: Editing Corridor Sections
To edit subassembly parameters in Section Editor
- Select a corridor in the drawing.
- Click Corridor tab
Modify panel
Corridor Section Editor
. - On the Section Editor Ribbon, use the Station Selection panel to specify the station at which you want to change a parameter. For more information, see Viewing Corridor Sections.
- Do one of the following:
- To view parameters for the entire assembly, click Section Editor tab
Corridor Edit Tools panel
Parameter Editor. - To view parameters for a single subassembly, in Section Editor, click the assembly. Hover the cursor over the appropriate subassembly grip. Click Subassembly Parameter Editor.
- To view parameters for the entire assembly, click Section Editor tab
- In the Corridor Parameters window, click the Value field for the parameter that you want to override. Enter a new value. When an override is applied, the Override column displays True. To remove an individual override, clear the check box next to the subassembly or parameter. To remove all overrides in an assembly, clear the checkbox in the Override column next to the assembly name.
- To apply the override to a range of stations: On the Section Editor tab, Corridor Edit Tools panel, click
Apply to a Station Range. - In the Apply To A Range Of Stations dialog box, enter both the start station and the end station. Click OK.
- To view only the stations that have assembly overrides applied to them: On the Station Selection panel, next to the Select a Station list, select
Overridden Stations. Only stations with assembly overrides are displayed in the list. - If the corridor is not set to rebuild automatically, click
Update Corridor to rebuild the corridor.
Corridor surfaces and any other data that is derived from the corridor are updated using the overrides.
To add or delete points from a subassembly in section editor
- Select a corridor in the drawing.
- Click Corridor tab
Modify panel
Corridor Section Editor
. - On the Section Editor Ribbon, use the Station Selection panel to specify the station at which you want to change a parameter. For more information, see Viewing Corridor Sections.
- Do one of the following:
- To view parameters for the entire assembly, click Section Editor tab
Corridor Edit Tools panel
Parameter Editor. - To view parameters for a single subassembly, in Section Editor, click the assembly. Hover the cursor over the appropriate subassembly grip. Click Subassembly Parameter Editor.
- To view parameters for the entire assembly, click Section Editor tab
- To add a point: On the Section Editor tab, Corridor Edit Tools drop-down, click
Add Point. - In the drawing window, select the link you want to break by adding a point.
- Enter a point code value for the new point.
The new vertex is added at the midpoint of the link. The points at the end of the links retain the codes from the original link.
In the Corridor Parameters vista, the Override column displays
True. - To delete a point: On the Corridor Edit Tools drop-down click
Delete Point. - In the drawing window, click the point you want to delete.
- To view only the stations that have assembly overrides applied to them: On the Station Selection panel, next to the Select a Station list, select
Overridden Stations. Only stations with assembly overrides are displayed in the list. - If the corridor is not set to rebuild automatically, on the Corridor Edit Tools panel, click
Update Corridor to rebuild the corridor. Corridor surfaces and any other data that is derived from the corridor are updated using the overrides.
To add or delete links from a subassembly in section editor
- Select a corridor in the drawing.
- Click Corridor tab
Modify panel
Corridor Section Editor
. - On the Section Editor Ribbon, use the Station Selection panel to specify the station at which you want to change a parameter. For more information, see Viewing Corridor Sections.
- To add a link: On the Corridor Edit Tools drop-down, click
Add Link. - In the drawing window, select the first point of the two points you want to connect.
- Select the second point.
- To delete a link: On the Corridor Edit Tools drop-down, click
Delete Link. - In the drawing window, click the link you want to delete.
The link is deleted. The points that were connected to create the link are not deleted.
- To view only the stations that have assembly overrides applied to them: On the Station Selection panel, next to the Select a Station list, select
Overridden Stations. Only stations with assembly overrides are displayed in the list. - If the corridor is not set to rebuild automatically, on the Corridor Edit Tools panel, click
Update Corridor to rebuild the corridor. Corridor surfaces and any other data that is derived from the corridor are updated using the overrides.
To insert or delete subassemblies in section editor
- Select a corridor in the drawing.
- Click Corridor tab
Modify panel
Corridor Section Editor
.At the Command prompt, enter ViewEditCorridorSection. - On the Section Editor Ribbon, use the Station Selection panel to specify the station at which you want to change a parameter. For more information, see Viewing Corridor Sections.
- Do one of the following:
- To view parameters for the entire assembly, click Section Editor tab
Corridor Edit Tools panel
Parameter Editor. - To view parameters for a single subassembly, in Section Editor, click the assembly. Hover the cursor over the appropriate subassembly grip. Click Subassembly Parameter Editor.
- To view parameters for the entire assembly, click Section Editor tab
- Select a subassembly from a tool palette in the Tool Palettes window.
- Press Enter to create a detached subassembly.
- To add the subassembly to the assembly: On the Corridor Edit Tools drop-down, click
Add Subassembly. - In the drawing window, select the subassembly to which you want to attach the new subassembly.
- To delete a subassembly: On the Corridor Edit Tools drop-down, click
Delete Subassembly. - In the drawing window, click the subassembly you want to delete.
The subassembly is deleted. If the deleted subassembly connected two subassemblies, they are attached to each other at the attachment point of the deleted subassembly.
- To view only the stations that have assembly overrides applied to them: On the Station Selection panel, next to the Select a Station list, select
Overridden Stations. Only stations with assembly overrides are displayed in the list. - If the corridor is not set to rebuild automatically, on the Corridor Edit Tools panel, click

- Ctrl+click a subassembly in the corridor section view.
Grip behavior depends on the type of grip:
- Identify the grip you want to move, and then Ctrl+click it once to make it active.
The grip changes color from blue to red, and the link property labels are displayed.
- To edit a value in one of the grip labels, press Ctrl + Tab until the value you want to edit is active. Enter a new value.
- Drag the grip to its new location, and click to place it there. The grip follows your mouse pointer, within the limits imposed by the grip type.
