My knowledge is that there are two ways of rendering and visualizing corridor. One by Code Set Style; the other by Corridor Surfaces and Corridor Surface boundaries. So, what are the advantages of one over the other? Which method is more preferable?
View 1 RepliesSo when I go to assign rendering materials in corridor properties dialog box, it does not allow me to select the box and make a choice of which material, so I am assuming that I am forgetting something...

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a linetype with a 3d shape included to represent road markings, i.e. central lines and edges etc.
For this I need a .shx file and I don't know how to create this as I am not allowed to select 3d objects when using the MKSHAPE command.
How can I best create a linetype with 3d objects?
I'm playing around with render materials and have the material assigned and the surface style to show only triangle in model view. When I go to Realistic view style should the not show?

Even all the properties of the corridor setup from one to another would be useful. I'm building one corridor and an 2nd one that matches everything except I need to replace my Assembly with one meant for stripping.
My corridor surface is not matching my corridor top links. see attachments. this is affecting my volumes!
The section-plan(surface red).png is showing the section editor and the plan view. the red highlighted line in section is the corridor surface and as you can see in plan view the surface is incorrect and wiggly.
The pdf is all my sections with the red linework being the corridor surface.

I created a simple roundabout in Civil3D with the intent on visualizing the corridor in 3DS Max Design using the Civil View plugin. The corridor rendered complete in Civil 3D, but there are large corridor gaps in Civil View. They all appear to be at the location of corridor baseline boundaries. Obviously this is a non-starter, as 3DS Max is supposed to improve the visual quality, not reduce.
Attached are some sample images of the roundabout in Civil3D and in 3DS Max Design.
I am using Civil 3D 2012 and 3DS Max Design 2012.

when I created a Top surface, C3D showed me otherwise. I need a gap at an intersection. In the attached DWG the intersection corridor has been removed from view by isolate.
I used 2 seperate baselines to force the road corridor to have a gap at the intersection.
Looked OK .. except ..later .. when I created a Top surface, only the first baseline is used to create the surface, the second baseline is skipped : (
I obviously did not make a gap correctly. What is the correct way? Or.. is there no way .. must the designer create multiple seperate corridors when the road has gaps?
I have a very basic question about creating corridors. As you can see on the attachment, i created an assembly consisting of ditch and my own polyline subassembly and turned it into a corridor. The ditch part is drawn out correctly, but the other part (supposed to be a gravel road) has only sections in certain points.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI started playing around with 3d dwf's. I'd like to share my corridors in a 3d dwf viewer or something similar but when it opens in design review, everything is skewed/ jagged/garbled. The other problem is that it exports everything (assemblies, alignments, sections etc.) so it make viewing navigation difficult in the viewer for people that aren't CAD savvy to begin with. It would be ideal if you could select what you want to export similar to exporting a wmf file.
How do others share 3d models with non-cad people?
When i try to create a material list, i don't see my corridor surface - just the EG surface appear in the list.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are trying to edit a small portion of an existing corridor by adding a generic daylighting subassembly. The add subassembly tool in the Corridor Section editor works, but we get an error because the new sub doesn't have a target surface specified. how to add a target for a sub that is added after the corridor was created?

When creating an alignment from corridor feature (ditch invert level), the created alignment is not following the selected line (see image bellow). The alignment seams to be created from the first point of the feature line to the last point and ignores all the other points. The vertical alignment created at the same time seams to be correct.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying desperately to create a corridor in C3D 2013.
I have the requisite Alignment, Profile and Assembly, yet when I create the corridor, either nothing appears, or it creates the corridor at incorrect elevations. I have the proper elevations in my alignment.
I had a grading plan all set, with a corridor involved. Then, I received a new survey that I didn't know was coming. I need to move all of my elements to different coordinates. I can move everything except the corridor.

This only contains the sub assembly "DaylightBench" in the side right.
I have the alignment and profile. I have created the corridor.
red line= alignment
green line= feature line (code Intersecction) converted to polyline.
pink surface= surface (code TOP).
I have added a boundary for surface of type "add from polygon" and I have selected the closed polyline(green line).
However, the boundary seems doesn´t work.

I am trying yo model river corridor with 4 locks on it. On every locks different between levels is about 2-3m. I it is possible to create profile perependicular to bottom of river. How to create it?
Another question how to later connect surface. I mean Existing ground and corridor intersect. Ho to prepare later for render Existing ground with cutted corridor river? where I am below EG.
I have sevreal corridors with various spurs. The contractor wants the cut/fill volume in sections along the corridors, not one big cut/fill calc. Is there a way to do this in C3D? I have got the volume table with the chainages on, but he does not want a cumulitive figure for the whole corridor.

Ultimately I am trying to determine a volume between my corridor and original topo.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI want to add different assemblies (some with walls or ditches) along the same corridor at given stations
Can that be done?
We have created sections from our corridor. We see FG and EG, we can use bands for EG from surface. How do we get the FG band to show the elevations for FG? The only option we have is the EG surface. We have tried to create a surface form the corridor in the corridor properties but that surface still doesn't show up in the surface list in the bands. I would have thought this info would be dynamic and come directly from the corridor would it not?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhy is my corridor adding a hinge? [Atleast I think that is the problem]
I am trying to create a berm that is 8' wide. For my assembly I used 4' wide basiclanes and daylightgeneral (with 3:1 slope in all parameters) on left and right side.
In the top image I have circled two of the areas in which the hinge line is shown. And in the bottom right the cross section of one side of the berm is shown. As you can see on the inside (left) there is two feet sloped at approximately -1% before it daylights to the surface at 3:1
Why isn't the left side matching the right?
I want use my corridor where I need it and not use one in certain areas. For a proposed dike. Some places doesn't need to be replace.
So I need a way to use my section on the alignment. where I can find that option?
