    Junction (Interection) Corridors and Surfaces

    I've changed my workflow slightly and have created 4 junctions via the wizard but kept them all in the same Corridor (previously I kept each one in its own corridor).

     

    I now need to create the formation surfaces for the corridor (in the way I always have done it) but only one of the junctions has a surface. I then added a show boundary and the "missing" surfaces appeared but with many connecting triangles and superfluous triangles in the curved areas.

     

    Any ideas how to get a nicely shrinkwrapped surface or is it a matter of brute force removal of triangles etc??

    When creating your surface boundary (within the corridor surfaces dialog) use the Interactive boundary method.

    Just tried this method and get the same problem - back to deleting triangles.....!!!!!

     

    I suppose the cut and fill featurelines could be extracted and used to create external boundaries of the corridor which could be converted to polylines and used as show boundaries - just not very dynamic
