Can you make a Corridor Intersection object with a custom subassembly?

I can't seem to find any help on this and I'm not having any luck on my own.  Can I use subassemblies that I create in subassembly composer to make an intersection using the "CreateIntersection" command? 

 

Thanks,
Mark

You can use any subassembly in the intersection (UK Junction) command.

 

You do however need to create the subassemblys and re-target each baseline in the intersection tool.

 

I found it easier (I don't really use the tool) to create an intersection then delete it. Then revise the subassemblies it created to suit and rerun it using those subs. You can change the defults but I cant remember if it gets the subassemblies from a drawing or creates from xml file. If you search in here that has been answered I believe.

 

This is one of the reasons I don't really use the tool, I find that it's easier to just generate the corridor from scratch as they may all be different and I have to revised the generated profiles etc anyway.

Everything after the first sentence makes no sense. Are you using the same software as I am?

I took it as "you can but you have to manually set all of the targets" which is what I was trying to ask but didn't do a good job.  And possibly the command is called "Junction" in the UK?

 

Thanks for the responses,

Mark

Ok...Having to manually set Targets or Baselines is not true, however.

Can you share the solution? How to do it without targeting it manually?
