Model Civil 3D Corridor Transitions Using Any Subassembly

In this session, we'll explore a Civil 3D 2023.2 new feature called "Edit Corridor Transition". Using this tool, we can apply transitions to virtually any dimension of any subassembly, even if it doesn't support targets.

About freaking time! This should have been around from day 1…

I like Engr. Jeff videos. Thank you Sir for videos.

[albertlee]

hidden gem here. Thank you for showing this!

[FriedrichWeidig]

Jeff Bartels at it again, best tutorials and cool new feature!

[mylesrussell]

I just started training 2 colleagues and we were JUST about to start targeting this week. I really dislike the updated targeting but now I can see why it was changed: to allow for this!

Thank-you Jeff! You saved tens of thousands of hours of work across all of us C3d users!

S tier addition!
Have been doing this worfklow for the past years with multiple custom SA's and multiple targeting in the drawing.
This is a welcome update, and thanks Jeff for making this happen.

Very Nice Jeff! Thank you my teacher!!

Excellente contribution, thank you very mucho for sharing Jeff, Greetings from Costa Rica

This will come so in handy when creating corridors for trenching! When you get in to a bend / corner I always create new targetlines with a transition and so on to create a wider trench for a bend. Now it will be way easier! Same goes for weldingpits with wierd transitions / clean ups. Next step will be to get Dynamo doing this. Thank you Sir.

As always, nice work Jeff!
One remark though on the feature itself. Beside the fact that it's very easy to do targetting with subassemblies that don't support targetting initialy, offset targets created this way, will create less accurate geometry in terms of widths of curbs, sidewalks, ... at the transition itself. This because of the fact that assemblies are always inserted orthogonally on the baseline. So for tapers with fairly large widening at a short distance, it will create e.g. curbs with wrong widths. For transition in elevation on the other hand, it's very usefull...

Thank you very much Sir Jeff!!! Love this new feature, it will help me a lot with my project having too many transitions.

[MrLikeidontcare]

Nice work Jeff, very educational video. Thanks.

[naseeryounasbhatti]

Sir, Excellent work u have done in this session. Very useful update it will make the work very easy for civil 3d users. Thanks u for sharing.

[PauloViníciusdaSilvaReis]

Wow! That tutorial is just amazing!! Thank you.

[phinix]

THANK YOU!!!

I have been using a transform generator subassembly to calculate a transition variable but that always clogged up my list of assemblies as I had to create one for each transition. This looks much easier to use.

[KanchanChandraDey]

Thaks for shearing. It is very useful for us .

[dougfinlay]

At last this portion is up with 12d model. Nice!

[abrarsultan]

Hi Jeff!
Is there a way to configure the taper lane with an opposing slope? For instance, main carriage exhibits a negative slope (-), while extending the widening road with a positive slope (+). Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Big thanks grand professeur the biggest one perfecto as every time, this is my big problem with the software thanks again 👍🏾

[brunsonkade]

Hey Jeff, thanks for this video! For some reason, when I edit the lane width, my curb subassembly doesn't like it. The lane transitions just fine, but the curb "chops up" and is ragged along the transition taper. Do you know why it does this?
