I tried searching the forum but without any luck finding an answer and I swear I saw it here before.

How do you get the corridor to tie it's contours into the Existing surface? I tried adding feature lines as breaklines in the surface that was created from the corridor; that does tie it in, but also alters the contours that were correct. Currently I have contours that ether stretch past a contour line, or they simply don't reach the contour.

Any help you can give would be great. Or maybe even the location where I can find the information.

Thanks,
Jon

You can lower the sample spacing on your corridor model. This will make smaller surface triangles and better tie in your contours.

You can also not use the daylight subassemblies, extract a feature line, and then create a projection grading. The feature line can also be dynamically linked to the corridor.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot in the morning. Appreciate the reply!
