Corridor/Grading Help!

[derel]

Grading and corridor experts - I seek your help. I am working on the site layout for the solids handling facility at a wastewater treatment plant and have got myself in a mess. I have multiple roads most making non-symmetrical intersections with each other and some with parking areas off of them. Give the layout I opted to use a corridor over feature lines, but I some areas that I'm clueless on to model.

See the circled areas in the attached PDF - how would you go about doing this with a corridor? I can make the links daylight corrected, then there's the C&G.  Should I leave these areas out of the corridor and use features lines here? My end goal is a PG surface. (Having and nice corridor for visuals would be nice, but not required).

I greatly welcome any advice or suggestions on how to grade these areas.

Thanks in advance.

Dear C3D 

You are on track 

1) the very roof top of the dyke is a very basic corridor

2) autoextract feature lines linked to corridor = the Usual i.e. the shoulder of the dyke etc

 then stop the corridor stuff and go to gradings tools

3) grade of the corridor to build ponds and such that gradings are good at

4) Don't be to gung ho make a simple project to test the work flow

      then well scale it up....

5) to recap start with corridor THEN go to linked gradings from corridor

6) YES a simple test square shape is the best starting point.......

Best regards

Those parking bays and turn outs are a problem for corridors which don't like perpendicular bends in baselines and targets. My approach would be to just model the driving lanes with the corridors, extract the edges to featurelines, then use gradings and infills for the parking bays, etc. You might consider using curb assemblies on the parking bay featurelines, just don' try to model the pavement. Use infills instead.

Hi 

Yes listen to Neil its a combo

approach of corridors and next gradings BOTH

1) use corridors to get the wheel rolling

2) next switch to gradings ( sooner the better)

to get you to home plate.

Peter/Neil - thank you for the reply and input. I'll try to put this into action today.
