Corridor EZ Technical Overview

Transcript

Corridor EZ is a Civil 3D application that builds on your Civil 3D surfaces and alignments to quickly create Civil 3D corridors using powerful workflow tools found inside the Corridor EZ tool space. Users can spend less time creating the corridor and more time focusing on design.

Corridor EZ includes a familiar tool space workflow environment where users can access all the tools needed by simply following a path of creating and editing design elements, all with a right-click of the mouse. Once launched, Corridor EZ users can immediately visualize their Civil 3D surfaces in the model viewer, which provides a live 3D environment to review surfaces without the need for selections within the drawing.

Replacing the need to build time-consuming and complex assemblies, templates are the backbone of Corridor EZ. Using the template editor, users can create a large range of templates for features such as roads, curbs, sidewalks, and even pond elements. These templates can be easily customized to meet specific project needs.

When your design is ready for production and delivery of the corridor, Corridor EZ will create the required assemblies for you directly from the design in the drawing environment. Harnessing the Civil 3D alignments, Corridor EZ has tools to create your roads, curb returns, and cul-de-sacs with speed, applying your templates to the design. Intuitive forms help you generate these elements rapidly.

The vertical grading editor is a live interface for your vertical design and, in combination with the live cross-section window, provides users with precision design tools for projects. Multiple interactive design windows dynamically update as you change your design. The model viewer is an effective part of the design process, offering users real-time rendering and 3D visualization of the design elements with the Civil 3D surfaces.

Corridor EZ introduces artificial intelligence for subdivision design with Project Assist. Using your project data, Project Assist builds the framework of the design for the entirety or portions of a subdivision in a single operation, including your roads, curb returns, and cul-de-sacs.

At the click of a button, Corridor EZ design surfaces can be outputted as Civil 3D surfaces and profiles, complete with profile views. Users can edit the Civil 3D profiles and read back to the design to update all your roads, curb returns, and cul-de-sacs. At the click of a mouse, create a multi-baseline corridor including all assemblies, targets, regions, and overrides. If you need to make a change to another road or pair of curb returns, no problem. Use the design tools to make changes to your design and simply sync your corridor.
