View Full Version : Why "blanks" in Corridor Surface?

Having created a CIV3D corridor (using 2011) I often get periodic "blanks" in the resultant surface. I have been using Edit Surface/Add Line or Add Point to help rectify the situation, but this can be time consuming. Any knowledge out there as to how/why this happens and what I can do to prevent this or better ways to correct?
Thanks!

Where are the blanks? Can you load up an image of them?

Thanks for the response, but I do not have an image. These "blanks" show up randomly. The blanks may be rectangular or triangular, depending on the shape of the TIN. Like I said I can correct after the fact by adding lines or points, but it would be much nicer if I did not have to do so in the first place.

I can remote in and have you show me if you would like.

This is often due to issues with the Alignments, Polylines, Feature Lines, or Survey Figures you are Targeting with your Corridor Assemblies. If you have any sub-assembly with a width target ability, you might want to check exactly what it is extending to. This is the best answer I can give without seeing an example of the problems you're having, but it is a pretty common issue.
