We can employ Corridors to solve significant and common grading site design problems in Autodesk Civil 3D. We do need to acquire some skill and practice with Corridor design workflows. Corridor design methodology can be more productive than the classic Feature Lines only approach. After all, Corridors do produce and manage related Feature Lines in bunches.
That nifty trick alone says we…

Lots of us in Civil 3D Land love to whine about Site Grading in Autodesk Civil 3D. Many of us still employ the classic design by breaklines methodologies from our CAD historical past to produce our production grading designs in Civil 3D. It works. These days most of us might agree that Civil 3D Feature Lines are an improvement over AutoCAD 3D polylines.…
