Daylighting My Corridor
Posted by Jason Hickey on October 2nd, 2006
I've had students ask me how to correctly tie in their contour lines when they're creating a corridor. The main problem that they're having with the software is the fact that it daylights very well - it grades based off of your criteria, and when it hits daylight, it stops. In theory, this sounds very good - hey, the software is doing what we want it to do, right? But in the real world, engineers will try to drag that contour out so it doesn't create an angle, but it creates a very nicely rounded daylighting. Until a few weeks ago, I wasn't even sure you could do this automatically. To be honest, I'm still not.
