Exporting Civil 3D Corridor

[wilsonm2000]

Hi guys

Does anyone know an easy way to export a corridor with just the featurelines?  I know you can individually export a featureline.  But I would like to be able to click an export button, and to have the option to export all the featurelines I require.  I do not like the "Export to DWG" command, as it breaks the corrido between each link and point.  Very messy.

Thanks in advance

The 3rd party Sincpac-C3D has the CorridorExtractPolylines command which extracts multiple Corridor Feature Lines as 3D Polylines.

Again, can only be done with 3rd party software 😞

I suppose Autodesk dont want to make everything available in one go, that will be a feture in the future release 😛 even though MX has been doing it for years 😛

You could use the GENIO export tool.

I tend to isolate the corridor with just the featurelines as the code set, explode until I just have LINE objects and WBLOCK. Insert the exploded corridor to a new drawing and JOIN the Lines to create 3D polys. Rough but works for my purpose until this is available OOTB

Yeah, I do this as well, but as you say, its a very rough way of doing it. And more time consuming than it should be. I will give the GENIO export tool a go, but I think that just exports it as an actual MX model, so you would still have to go into MX and export it out as 3D polylines.

Import it back using the GENIO import?

Oh yeah, haha. Sorry, its been a long day 😛
