Edit and Delete Corridors

There are two command panes you can use to edit corridor properties:

  • Edit Corridor pane - Use this command pane to edit the corridor name, horizontal and vertical alignment, current material layer, reference lines, and/or reference surface(s).
  • Properties pane - Use this command pane to edit the corridor name, horizontal and vertical alignments, current material layer, surface properties, show/hide-in-views settings, and densification properties.

Prerequisites:

To edit a corridor using the Edit Corridor pane:

  1. Display the Edit Corridor command pane using one of the following methods:
    • Select Edit Corridor.
    • Right-click the corridor in the Project Explorer and select Edit in the context menu.
    • Select the corridor in Plan View or 3D View, then right-click and select Edit in the context menu.
  2. If necessary, select the corridor you want to edit in the Corridors drop-down list.
  3. Make changes as necessary. For additional instructions, see Create Corridors.
  4. When you are done making changes to the selected corridor, click the Apply button to save your changes.

    If necessary, you can now select a different corridor to edit in the Corridors drop-down list.

  5. When you are done editing corridors, click the Close button.

To edit a corridor using the Properties pane:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Right-click the corridor in the Project Explorer and select Properties in the context menu.
    • Select the corridor in Plan View or 3D View, then right-click and select Properties in the context menu.
  2. In the Properties pane, make changes as necessary. For additional instructions, see Create Corridors.

    The Tolerance property, which is not available in the Create Corridor command pane, controls how close a unique cross section will be computed.

    • Default - Tolerance = 5 mm (0.02’) horizontally and 10 cm (0.33’) vertically.
    • Best - Tolerance = 5 mm (0.02’) both horizontally and vertically.
    • Best & BL Across (BL = Breakline) - Tolerance = 5 mm (0.02’) both horizontally and vertically and drops a breakline into the surface at all drop locations other than those defined by other relevant interval settings (for example, horizontal points, vertical points, superelevation points, reference lines, and so on).

      This option allows you to create much tighter and better defined surfaces with zero manual breakline additions. This means that when you have to reform a surface because you changed something, you do not have to redo all the manual breakline additions. In addition, because the model includes sharp breaklines, the rendering of the model is much sharper in 3D.

To delete a corridor:

Do one of the following:

  • Right-click the corridor in the Project Explorer and select Delete in the context menu.
  • Select the corridor in the Plan View or 3D View, then right-click and select Delete in the context menu.
