Project corridors to profile views

Project corridors to profile views

We use civil 3d to design highway interchanges, it would be nice to be able to see the crossing corridors in the profile view.  Currently we are creating surface profiles for each crossing corridor, but it would be much more time efficient to project those crossing corridors into the profile view similar to how they display when sampled in the cross sections.

Good idea! Even though you could sample the top surface profile of the crossing corridor, many times, it's wanted to show the section and then all the detail gets drawn in by hand. This would be especially useful for sampling underground structural elements such as retaining walls and tunnels.

Surface profiles are what we are using currently, but we don't use a Top surface for anything.  We've broken down the codes to be able to stack surfaces & isolate data.  If the corridor was able to be seen in the profile view that's one less data reference I'd need in my P&Ps.  I can't imagine how you are seeing tunnels!!

If this is done, it will be fine

What an obvious omission.
