As a follow-up to the post “Pressure Pipe Modeling with the Corridor Tools“ see how to apply a design to your model, how the model updates all the crossings, and how you can project the design pressure pipe onto a road centerline profile. Check it out after the jump…
There was a post in the Civil 3D Wishlist a while back. It was centered around making corridors easier to modify.

Click a corridor in 2011 and have a glance at the Ribbon. You’ll see a ton of stuff.
- Set targets directly, and directly from the region you picked with your mouse. No searching through the parameters tab trying to pick the correct region.
- Set section frequency.
- It’s very easy to add and remove custom sections
- The entire corridor doesn’t need to rebuild. When some edits are made, only that part of the corridor is rebuilt – faster.
- If you have offset targets, there is a setting to automatically add sections at the geometry points for those targets – perfect!
- And more…

A post in the discussion group today got my attention. Calculating end area volumes based on your EG versus your Corridor Datum is easy and it’s explained in various publications including the Civil 3D tutorials, the Learning Civil 3D manual, among others. There are often far more complicated calculations that need to be done, however. Read on…
In case you don’t live and breathe Civil 3D blogs like I do, there’s a great post by the grading guru, Eric Chappell over on Civil3dpedia. Check it out here: Creating a Pond Access Ramp.

Grading in curbed islands can be a time consuming task and they often need to be changed based on the overall grading changes. Whether it’s a curbed island in a parking lot or a curbed median on a boulevard, secondary corridors give you another option to keep your islands dynamic.
