Corridors with Non-Concentric Targets

I'm trying to figure out if corridors can support non concentric targets correctly through custom sub-assemblies.  The stock sub assemblies only generate geometry perpendicular to the centerline rather than radial to the target polyline or feature line.  I'm wondering if a custom sub assembly can do this, or if other people have solved the problem via a different solution.  Attached are some photos illustrating what I'm referring to.

 

In "WhatCivilDoes.png" you can see that the corridor extends 0.5' from the flowline perpendicular to the centerline.

 

In "What I Would Hope to Achieve.png" the Corridor would extend 0.5' radially to the flowline.  This is how the geometry would be generated in a perfect world.

 

While the difference between the two isn't huge (0.32' is the worst in the above examples), it's enough to make it unusable.

Thanks for the help and/or ideas.

This is what AssemblyOffsets are for.

Thanks Jeff!  I feel kinda stupid now though.  As a surveyor, I'm definitely behind the curve when it comes to corridors.  When I asked the engineering department how to accomplish this they told me they didn't know how.

 

As always I appreciate the help.
