Copy Corridor

[ebarlevi]

How can I copy a corridor in the same drawing.
Thanks.

You can't. I have been adding it to the wish list for 2 years now.
If you try to block it out and back in you get two of every alignment & profile & Assembly.

Hint hint,
If one of our third party software vendors that troll the discussion group would ad that feature I think we could justify buying it 🙂

Hi Bruce,

Just curious. What use would you make of a copied corridor?

If you are looking to make alternate design scenarios you can add your
baseline again (baseline) clear the check box for baseline, change the
parameters for baseline 2 and compare scenarios.

The last time I wanted to copy a corridor I had one fairly complete and we decided to look at lowering 1000' of roadway in the middle of a 6000' run.
I wanted to copy the existing and use the new profile in this section. This section was split into 10 different regions and I didn't want to manually change them each time I wanted to switch profiles.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks. I must have been in La-La land not to think of retaining an
existing design while trying another similar one.

I think I would have simply made a copy of the whole drawing and tried
the new design in the copied drawing

Bump.

Where is that IdeaStation?

I agree with Laurie's suggestion to perform any and all alternate designs in separate files. This keeps things more organized with regard to layers and makes the files smaller as there is only one design option per file.

I have a scenario that being able to copy a corridor would be beneficial. I've got a road corridor that I need to show daylighting to existing grade for the road construction portion of the project and I also need to remove the daylighting and grade up to the proposed building pads for the lot grading portion of the project. Being able to toggle between the two corridors and their surfaces would be great.
