Corridor Daylight Overlapping

[Anonymous]

Does anyone have a good way of handling overlapping of corridor daylight lines @ PI's and curves?  It seems like grading objects handle these overlaps much better.

Thanks,

Corridors do not clean up overlaps like grading objects. A few workarounds that come to mind are:

Manully edit the corridor sections

Create a featureline where you want the corridor to daylight, drape it on EG and use it as a target for the corridor daylight assembly

Extract an edge featureline from the corridor and use gradings to model the daylight in those areas.

Thanks Neil.  In the past, I have used grading objects in these tight spaces.  I wish I didn't have to go through these extra steps, especially as the cooridors get more complicated.

I guess I'll have to put this on my wish list for future versions!

I have never taken a corridor through visualization and rendering, but I was trying to keep the corridor as much a complete model as I could (trying not to use feature lines and grading objects to fill in gaps), because it seems like I will be better able to produce a rendering in the future if I have a complete corridor.

Just wanted to throw that in to let you know why I was asking the question.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,

There are a couple of options that you can apply to the corridor as I mentioned. I agree that this is one of several issues that need to be addressed.
