Jeff provides the basic how to for Feature Lines only display representation from a Corridor Code Set Style.
There are some very essentials steps you need to know about Code Set Style edits and maintenance in the video.
You should note the glaring fact that the Autodesk supplied All Codes Code Set Style clearly doesn't include all the Codes from stock assemblies.
We take the time to make sure the Style Tools from the Framework for Civil 3D do.
If you are a Framework for Civil 3D customer, you are a bit spoiled since the Framework already includes Code Set Styles that do this magic out of the box.

MAPTRIM and MAPCLEAN are two of everyone's favorite Map 3D tools that a skilled Civil 3D user has to know.
Needless to say, this is a publication process. How well you set up the published content before you perform the MAPTRIM is important to produce good results.

Jeff provides the basic how to. Code Set Styles that do this are useful for far more purposes than just cleaner plots and better presentations.
You can employ QAQC Code Set Styles to help visualize problems and/or successful link code generation in the corridor model.
If you build your own PKT files (Subassembly Composer files), you should try to employ the Civil 3D stock subassembly codes as this will save you tons of busy work.
Surprise. The Framework for Civil 3D even includes a Subassembly Code Spreadsheet tool to help manage that sort of stuff.
If you are a Framework for Civil 3D customer, you are a bit spoiled since the Framework already includes Code Set Styles that do this magic even with percentage screening.
