section views and corridor scenarios


I have created a corridor, surface , sections and
qty, and want to explore another scenario. So I added another baseline, assembly
and targets, and turnes off the baselines from the previous scenario - the plan
looked great, but the first corridor is still in the section view. How can I
turn one off and have the second show? I would have thunk turning off the other
base line would have done that but it doesn't.

 

I realize I could make another corridor and surface
and add to the section views, but that seems antithetical the the tenets of the
software, no?

Joe:

 

Can you select different baselines under Corridor
in "Mr. Prospector"?

No. Only in the corridor properties dialog
box.

Save As.

 

Keep the different scenarios in different
files.

 

Thunk??  I think you need a, 'woulda' prefix to really make that
work. Winking smile emoticon

Right click any of the section view, Section View
Group Properties.

Sections tab

Uncheck what you don't want.

I'll use that advice, but shouldn't turning of
baselines remove any associated sections?

That isn't an option since scenario 2 and scenario
1 are the same corridor. I turned off all the scenario 1 baselines and the
corridor line go away in plan as expected. I add scenario 2 base line and the
corridor line display in plan as expected but scenario 1 stay visible in the
section view even though they are not visible in corridor view.

 

I thought the hole idea was and I paraphrase from
the marketing material..."...Instantly visualize different scenarios with
civil3d corridors.... blah bla blah..."

 

momentarily frustrated,
Joe

Duh, of course.  My bad.

 

What's the problem with making 2 corridors? 
it'd be easy then.  You're doing all the same with with the extra baseline
anyway...

I guess that true - I thought I could do it this
way and toggle between scenarios for comparison, plus have less
clutter.

 

Thanks

 

P.S while I have you Matt, are you familiar with
the OverlayEdgetoCrown Assembly? I'd like to add a pavement section and or curb
to the edge but the corridor goes kabluey when I do. the attachenment nodes are
there but it seems to not keep the overlay offset.

 

I'm going to try a workaround by creating the
overlay surface and extract profile from corridor and the attach a final road
assembly.

 

Thanks, Joe

Whack the Corridor section 1 and 2 on different Layers, freeze and thaw accordingly or vpfreeze/thaw.

You then won't see them on the sections.

At least that's what I do.

Do you mean "OverlayCrownBetweenEdges"? 
I haven't had the pleasure of experimenting with that one.  What does your
corridor do exactly?  Kabluey?

I dont have a screen shot handi but if I start with OverlayCrownBetweenEdges it looks perfect but if I attach a curb sub to the edge link the corridor takes on a hour glass shape pattern; every other corridor section collapses on the centerline. For instance sta 1+50 would be 30 feet and 1+75 collapses down where the curb go to the centerline.

Hi Joe,
I haven't needed this sub before either so have no real experience with it.
But I just created a quick assembly & corridor using this, added C & G to
it, and I don't see anything that stands out as being wrong. Would you mind
letting me have a look at your drawing? I may be able to see something that
is being missed, or see that I wasn't applying things the same way as you.
