Splitting surfaces or corridors?

[Anonymous]

I am experimenting with creating a 4d simulation in Navisworks for the creation of two bunds. The bunds will be made section by section and I want to be able to visualize that the work starts on one end and finishes on the other. 

I have created a corridor of one of the bunds in Civil but to show the progress of the creation of the bunds I have to break them up into a few sections. 

Is it possible to either split a corridor or a surface in AutoCad Civil 2011 into multiple corridors or multiple surfaces?

you can make multiple corridors each with their own surface.

 What is 4d and what is a bund?

[dgordon]

I don't know what a bund is, but the 4th dimension is usually time.   which means he's doing  a time lapse detail from start to finish.

Well I didn't know what a bund is either when I first saw it. It may also be called a bunding or a bund wall. Also, english is not my first language.

The project is a reclamation project. They build these walls (or bunds)  made of soil materials with slopes on both sides. the walls extend out from the existing shoreline. The ends of both walls meet so the original shoreline and the bund walls enclose an area which is filled in with material.

4d is a sort of buzzword for including time dimension in a 3d drawing, enabling playback of the project to visualize the schedule. I only use the word 4d for lack of a better term. 

At the moment I am modeling the sections of the walls as multiple corridors. I would however like to be able to receive a model of a corridor and divide it up, thus saving me the work in recreating the whole corridor, part by part. 

thank you for your suggestions.

Thanks for the explination. I should have know the 4d - I did very well in physics but that was a long time ago <G>
