I'm curious why not just use the corridor to do the same thing? Extracting feature lines and creating grading seems like extra steps that could easily be accomplished through subassemblies.
Either way works, and neither is wrong. For a lot of people, subassemblies are tedious and confusing, especially when working non-standard designs, so a feature line is a simpler control structure to work with.
Very good video. Short and straight forward. One question, we design a lot of open ditch in lieu of curb and gutter. Since the top banks of a ditch constantly changes, how would I be able to do this accurately?
Thank you Dakota Naramore. The easiest way to handle the ditch is to set an alignment/feature line on the top of ditch and use that as a target for the edge of the ditch in your assembly. I usually use the various Link tools from the generic tab of the too palette for this. HTH
@@ZenTekConsultants In the case of adding ditches could you add 3d polylines for ditch top and ditch bottom then add them to the surface as break lines.
Thanks, I really I appreciate it for your lesson, great job. thanks again
Glad you liked it!

@@cutter3011 Absolutely! Basically, 3D Polylines, Feature Lines, and Breaklines are all the same thing so you can use them interchangeably.
