Korey presents the essentials of the Civil 3D Corridor mechanics to use Feature Line targets for a Lane widening.
Also covered very briefly is how to employ the Intersection Wizard in a single pass to add that to a driveway or roadway corridor.
There are reasons you might want to do this work with Features Line targets. However, a bettter step-by-step use of the Intersection Wizard and Offset Alignments, Offset Profiles, and Widenings will produce a more managed and flexible design results.
