Add baselines to a corridor
- [Speaker] Civil 3D corridors have amazing flexibility allowing you to build very complex designs. Let's take a look at one step toward a more complex design by adding a baseline. You can think of a corridor baseline as the spine of the corridor. Typically it's an alignment profile pair but it can also be a feature line and corridors can have more than one baseline. For example, if this road were to be a divided highway instead of just a single travel way we might want to use two different baselines since the geometry of each set of lanes may vary slightly. Now on the example I have here, this alignment is parallel to this one. But what if they weren't parallel? Or what if their profiles varied quite a bit because we were going through mountainous terrain? But yet we would still want them to be part of the same corridor. So if we do things like cut sections through them, we can section the entire corridor. So how does…
