Dear All,
I was trying to make channel with different size, and don't know how to make channel intersection.
I used Trench Pipe subassemblies/ U Channel.
appreciate if someone can help me with simple example.

Thanks in advance

Main Channel
you will need to creat part of the channel along a baseline to the intersection as an endstation to that region
then a new baseline (same as previous region) Start station is the otherside of the intersection
Intersecting Channel
New basline for the intersecting channel end station at one side of the interesction
then a new baseline (same as previous region) Start station is the otherside of the intersection

yes...push one through the intersection in a 'dummy' corridor.
create the surface for the cannel within that dummy
then include that surface in the profile view of the intersectinf channel profile (change it's style)
then you will see exactly where to desgn the intereseting profile(s) with each other in the profile view.

ti 'finish' your design you might conside creating a channel section using multiple generic links to fill in the 'gap' or just allow the corridor feature lines to do that task for you.
