A reasonable review of some important edits to show the graphic capabilities of Corridor Code Set Styles.
If you edit Code Set Styles in a production drawing, most of the time you have wasted time and introduced inconsistency into your project.
The Framework for Civil 3D contains some of the most sophisticated and well-integrated Code Set Style and Corridor solutions available.
You might want to check out our Intersections and Corridors page for all the nuances and power tools. Videos are included.

Create Surface from RCP or RCS file in Civil 3D
Jason Porter of Applied Software walks through the basic workflows in both ReCap Pro (video 1) and Civil 3D (video 2) to create a surface from point cloud LAS data exported as a RCP file by ReCap Pro.
The small interface differences between recent Civil 3D 2018 and 2019 versions is also shown.
