I don't see it the same way you do. The corridor 'cannot' do what you're
hoping. It is based on cross-sections, which are inherently all straight
line.

Tom,
Yeah, I did 'miss the point' I re-read what I sent and it didn't make sense.
But to answer the meat of my question - you offset the CL for road, curb,
sidewalk, etc.? I guess what I'm saying it that I use the alignment,
parcels, etc. for generating final drawings (all of this hypothetical of
course since I'm no where near rolling out C3D to my users) but cannot use
the corridor for anything except generating contours on a final plan? That
sounds a bit backward to me.
Thanks for your reply.

There is, but I doubt many people would find it convenient/appropriate for
showing horizontal geometry. The feature lines *could* be used for the
curb/sidewalk lines on the final drawings, but I would likely fire someone
for doing so. With roadways being designed by section, the horizontal
information is 'lost'. The corridors inherently model section to section,
so everything is a straight line segment.
Your first paragraph kind of indicates you're 'missing the point', so to
speak. The corridor is a design tool, not intended for generating
construction plans. Yes, the plans are the final product, but I don't think
you would really say that is the most important part. If the design is
poor, no matter how good the plans look, it's a poor product. The only part
of a corridor that could end up being a part of a final drawing would be
contours from a surface, of which the corridor could be one part.

Hi all,
Having finally gotten into playing around with Corridors (I can see some you
running away in horror now). I'm wondering how I can utilize the corridor
model in my drawing especially the finished plans that go out the door
(which IMO is the most important part of the process).
From what I can see, the C-M is just a layout tool that one uses to layout
roads, etc. When a user wants to take this design and JUST show edge of
road, curbing, sidewalk, etc. it has to be manually done??? In other words,
there is no part of the C-M that can be isolated to keep the roads,
sidewalks, etc?
Please tell me if there's another way.
Thanks,
Rick
