- Howdy everyone,
Before I get going, a quick apology to Anthony and all you anxious readers. I have been a little lax about getting involved over here with Anthony. I think I am finally starting to feel settled in around the office and otherwise, so I am going to try and make this is a bit more regular thing.
On with the show. Everyone, their dog and cat have been posting about Autodesk's 2008 products so I thought I would show a little bit of Corridor Flash for you Anthony's loyal readers.
Corridors have always supported inserting regions, the problem with that is setting up all of the targets for that new region could be alot of work. AutoCAD Civil 3D 2008 adds the ability to split an existing region. The command will divide an existing region at the point you have selected, and copy over all the original regions settings, including assembly, and any target surfaces, alignments and profiles.
Corridor surface creation has also had some quirks. I wrote a series over at Civil3d.com about a particular problem with datum surfaces not being created properly.
Now in the corridor surfaces tab we have overhang correction. I have posted two images, one with bottom correction on, and one with none.
Bottom Correction Applied
No correction applied
Well that is all I have for now. Don't worry we have lots more things to show you in the coming days weeks and months. We might even start showing how it all works.
