link dynamic corridor feature lines for baselines and multiple surface generation

Dynamic corridor feature lines 

I have had success using multiple codes within a corridor template to create truly dynamic feature lines to define 

curb returns and parking islands to name a few within the parent corridor as a baseline identity. I have coded my template as FG (finish grade) , Target (target elevations) thus and creating separate surfaces within the corridor using that naming convention, thus allowing me to target a feature line definition to the target (Target) surface breaking the circular reference problem, the result is a fully dynamic definition such as an island , retaining wall etc that is updated to accommodate changes in the template automatically with no further input, the feature line will also respond to being moved , altered or copied from one location to another and will take on the parent corridor elevations and re contoured

Sounds cool, do you think this workflow can replace the more traditional one.  I wrote about my workflow here in this C3D challenge post.

Very similar , I use alignments and profiles in the centerline and extend a target template with slopes for the drive isle and parking then apply the feature line with curb assembly to that with a 'relative' elevation to the target resulting in a dynamic curb, when the parent profile changes so do the curbs according to the assembly used, i use two surfaces derived from codes in the assembly , target and grade, feature lines get the elevation from target surface allowing for quick editing and changes , it will not suffice for all conditions but if there is a drive isle it works well for most applications,   plus offset alignments, profiles and warping can be applied for special conditions.
