Best Practice for Corridor surface builds

At times in the past, I have generated my corridor surface FG then later went into its edits and added breaklines, swap edges, paste some other surface, added hide boundary, etc. It never turns out good down the road but it's too late with as many edits as it might have in its build.

 

These days I like to create my corridor FG and that surface is done! I create another new container FG, paste in my corridor FG then any EDITS needed are done in that surface container. 

How do you C3D'rs do surfaces when using corridor(s)?

I tend to set the triangle angle constraint (to typically 105°) and the triangle length to an appropriate  length (typically around 10m) as this usually produces a decent surface for my purposes. I will generally work with one corridor comprising multiple baselines so only one finished and one formation surface to manage.

I suggest never add edit to the corridor surface directly. Use a composite to add data
