Corridor Daylight Tools for Site Design
Corridor Daylight Tools for Site Design
8/15/2022
Bryan Tanner, a Technical Specialist at ATG, delivers a quick tip on how to employ a Corridor to daylight a parking lot site design in Civil 3D.
From the ATG YouTube Channel.
Comments
Feature Line based Corridors are powerful Civil 3D design tools.
Bryan probably should mention the importance of Corridor Frequency properties in this quick and dirty exammple.

Manual Superelevation from a Civil 3D Profile

Autodesk's Alan Gilbert details a method to employ a targeted Civil 3D design Profile to generate Superelevation properties for a Corridor.
This video is part of the 30-Minute Workout series.
See the Alan Gilbert's YouTube Channel
and the Civil Immersion blog.
Comments
Yes, manual Superelevation design is possible in Civil 3D.
Hint - You will probably need a spreadsheet to calculate the critical Stations.
As nice as they are, Autodesk Civil 3D's supplied Superelevation Tools and catalogs do not cover all circumstances or standards.
Alan's detailed method employs a simple custom Subassembly Composer PKT to translate Profile elevation properties into Slope properties.
The PKT is then inserted before the other subassemblies.
The PKT calculated values from the elevations of a Civil 3D design profile are passed to other subassemblies via Assembly Output parameters defined in the PKT.

Autodesk's Jeff Bartels covers a quick session on how to get started with Civil 3D Quantity Take-Off (QTO).
This is a 30 Minute Workout video.
See the Jeff Bartels YouTube Channel.
and the Civil Immersion blog.
Comments
If your projects are similiar, a well-planned, detailed, an executed integration of Civil 3D and Quantity Take-Off for Corridors (Code Set Styles), Pipe Networks (Part List), Pressure Pipe Networks (Parts List) is pretty slick and mighty useful.
If your projects are varied, a well-planned, and generic a simplified QTO integration can also be very useful to simplify general estimates.
A targeted build up of the Level of Detail in the QTO resouces and reports over time usually works better than a do everything at once approach. QTO can be initially overwhelming.
