Corridor Solids

Autodesk Labs has come out with an extension for creating corridor solids from Civil 3D subassemblies.  The extension allows for creating solids that can be used for better visual renderings, class detection, and coordination between various team members using various Autodesk applications.

After downloading the extension, you will see that it has been added to the Toolbox residing on Toolspace.

Upon executing the command, you will get the following pop up box.

The options in the box are simple to follow. We simply need to select the corridor we wish to generate solids for.  We can also assign layers to our subassembly shapes.

The final box allows us to generate the solids in our current drawing or in a new one.

Here is the output generate by the extension in plan view.

Finally in plan view.  Now it is available for a variety of uses.
