I am starting to run C3D 2015 after a recent upgrade from 2010 (I know, it’s about time). I am having trouble adding a secondary surface to my corridor like I was able to in 2010. Normally, in the Corridor Properties, under the Surfaces tab, I could add 2 or 3 surfaces (Finished, Undercut, Over-X) to my corridor by clicking on Create Corridor Surface button and adding appropriate links to each. I have tried this in 2014 and 2015 programs and neither lets me add additional surfaces. Am I missing something here? Are there new/improved options to do this elsewhere? I am pretty sure my alignment, profile and assemblies are clear of errors.

Adding multiple corridor surfaces seems to work as expected in both 2014 & 2015.
Are you doing these first 2 steps?
1. Select "Create a Corridor Surface" icon.
2. Select "Add Surface Item" + icon.
Yes, just as it was in 2010. My first surfaces comes in fine, but adding a second surface, CAD just stares back at me. It doesn't freeze or hold up, just does nothing. I see your screen shot has only one surface, can you add another?
This screenshot is from a 2010 window. So its still possible to do so in 2015?
Not quite. I can get a single surface and it shows the correct Top & Subase surface with bottom links or a surface with just a top surface with top links. It’s when I want to add a second surface for alternate info. I don’t even get the second surface to show up to add links. I tried on a brand new drawing and made a very simple test alignment, profile, assembly and corridor and came across the same issue. If others are able to get it to work, I wonder if I am missing a setting?
I just opened an old 2010 corridor model with 2015. In there I am able to add the surfaces as I wish. This must be a setting issue with the couple I just created with 2015?
Check the surface name defaults for corridors. I have a template where someone has set the corridor surface name to match the corridor name. This works for one surface, but if it won't allow me to create a second one using a duplicate name.
