Corridor slope markings, must be an easier way

Hi guys

 

Trying to add slope markings on my corridors, and the only way I can find is to do it in the Corridor properties > Slope markings, then click add slope pattern, which asks you to select featurelines top and bottom of slope.  Surely there is a way to simply switch on or off slope markings where in cut or fill?  Can someone please help me here?  Thank you 🙂

Just to add, when I do select featurelines, I am getting an error on the command line saying "Not a valid feature line."  very frustrating 😞  they are definitaley featurelines, as I can change the style of them in the corridor properties.

Pretty sure there is no other way - but there should be a simpler way as you suggest

😞 just makes it so complicated.  The corridors on Civil 3D need a LOT of work to be improved to a decent level.  You cannot even change the feature line styles of the corridors universally, you need to go inot each corridors properties to update these, crazy.  So time consuming.

Absolutely - I've said before and I'll say it again that Autodesk seem to be more focussed on the "whizzbang all singing all dancing" products (as well as products for the Mac..!!!) rather than enhancing the fucntionality of the basic product that produces the quantities

Very frustrating.  I wonder if this is where the likes of PDS wins over.  Ok, it isnt as pretty to look at, but hey, it gets the job done, and doesnt have these silly things that take up so much time to do, when it should be a few clicks.

I guess Autodesk would respond by saying that they provide the necessary API tools for developers to write their own routines such as this......but that presupposes that one has the time/inclination to do it.

I wouldnt even know where to start with that, lol!  I just want to model!!  And thats why the company i work for pays the millions they do to Autodesk, so we have the facility to model, everything should be there for me to use efficiantly.  When I see things like this, I wonder if they deliberately put things like this into the packages, so they have something to update later on, surely with the corridor feature line problem, they knew this woiuld be an issue when you have multiple corridors in a drawing.  An excuse for them to charge millions for the next version, where the next version "solves" the issue.  Or maybe I am just cynical 🙂
