    section views and corridor scenarios

    285 Views, 13 Replies

    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,

    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.
