corridor surface cleanup

i've got a lot of corridors in my drawing and therefore a lot of surfaces made from them. whenever i modify a corridor, the surface updates but it creates some huge triangles requiring lots of surface cleanup. is there a way to prevent or minimize these triangles? thanks.

To the corridor surfaces have Boundaries applied to them?

nope. i was going to use the r/w line but even with that there would still be a lot of cleanup.

I'm not following, would the Surface Properties > Definition tab > Definition Options > Build > Use Maximum Triangle Length help?

it would help with the extremely long triangles, like on big radius curves but there are a lot of smaller radii like at intersections and cul-de-sacs.

Is "Corridor Extents as Outer Boundary" not an option in this case?
