corridor style-getting points to show in plan view.

[mikeshick]

I'm not too familiar with corridor styles.  How can get points to show on my cooridor in plan view?

What kind of points? Please be more specific.

Sorry...I didn't know there are different types of points.  I was thinking that in a surface style, points can be turned on or off.  I thought corridors had the same option.  What I was looking to do is tie feature lines into corridor elevation by snapping to points on the top surface of the corridor.  Sometimes when trying to snap using near or endpoint doesn't work well.

Does this clarify the question?

Corridors don't have the same option, not exactly. The code set style controls the display of point codes in cross section, but these do not show well in plan. Snap does not work well in many situations because the are so many overlapping feature lines in a corridor. Take the ETW, there are ETW_Sub, ETW_Base etc right on top of each other. To avoid this you need a code set style which shows ONLY the top links and you have to manually turn off any feature line that is not on the top of the corridor (in the corridor properties dialog box)

You can use the Cogo Points from Corridor tool to create points along any feature line. These are not dynamic, but the will allow you to snap to the Node of the desired point.

I wouln't snap to the corridor but rather transparently snap to the surface from the corridor
