Using corridors for Site Design

I'm looking for some good resources for using corridors in Civil 3D for Site Design.

 

I found this video, not sure if there are other resources you might recommend?

Hi @jayVVKFY! There's an AU class I watched recently, it may help you with this!

Are you simply wanting to grade the site or are you looking to have subassemblies to see materials in section.

 

In a nutshell all you need is alignments/ profiles and or feature line for you linear objects. Add as baselines.

 

I would hazard against trying to use assemblies for tight geometry. I double you can get a subassembly for every piece of material

But not to dissuade, the corridor is very stable. I use FL as baseline and attach a MP sub to run in the corridor definition. up might get some curs and sidewalks but again sharp turn can be a bear.

 

I do it similar to FL grading only I add the FL to the corridor as a baseline instead of adding to surface

I think it’s it’s time now in Civil 3D’s evolution for the Development team to copy the Corridor object technology to another brand new object specifically for Site Grading and call it something like Site Development Grading Manager and add some site specific capabilities …like Earthwork Balance, Reporting , Automatic Pond Design.. Add some new specific Grading Subassemblies, etc


Maybe take out some Transportation capability to keep it lean and specific to Site Development..

 

Then clearly focus on making the Corridor object better for Transportation.. and the new SDGM object specifically better for site grading development and Material/Quantites Takeoffs..

Thanks for the response. I have always used feature lines for grading, and I'm looking to investigate alternatives using corridor modeling to learn the advantages/disadvantages of a different method to prepare grading plans.

I'm looking for different resources to review as part of my investigation (books, articles, videos, etc)

I think you will find corridors wit feature line as baselines very stable
