Item Type Expression to get Mesh Corridor Name?

Question

Hi all, 
 
 I am trying to assemble an Item type Expression to get the Corridor name of a Corridor Mesh object and using the keyin "ECX ITEMS DUMP" i have put together an expression that I think should be close, but with limited experience with EC Objects i cant find enough information to get it working (if its possible that is). 
 
 So far i have this: 
 this.GetItem("Bentley_Civil_Model__Geometry:MeshSurfaceEntity").GetRelatedInstance("Component_Entity_Embedding:1:Corridor").GetItem("CivilSchema:Corridor_Presentation").Name 
 
 Any ideas where i've gone wrong? Attached is my test EC dump file. 
 ECDump_test_00001.zip 
 
 Regards, 
 Mark

Hi all, 
 
 Figured it out - shared below to help others delve into Item Type GetRelatedInstance for Civil Mesh objects: 
 
 Get Corridor / Linear Template name: 
 this.GetElement().GetRelatedInstance("OnSameElement:1:MeshSurfaceEntity").GetRelatedInstance("Component__Entity_Embedding:1:Corridor").GetRelatedInstance("OnSameElement:1:Corridor").Name 
 
 Get Surface Template name: 
 this.GetElement().GetRelatedInstance("OnSameElement:1:MeshSurfaceEntity").GetRelatedInstance("Component__Entity_Embedding:1:DTMMeshComponent").GetRelatedInstance("OnSameElement:1:DTMMeshByDTMEntityTemplateRule").GetRelatedInstance("OnSameElement:0:FeatureWithName_Presentation").FeatureName 
 
 Get Surface Template Terrain name: 
 this.GetElement().GetRelatedInstance("OnSameElement:1:MeshSurfaceEntity").GetRelatedInstance("Component__Entity_Embedding:1:DTMMeshComponent").GetRelatedInstance("OnSameElement:1:DTMMeshByDTMEntityTemplateRule").GetRelatedInstance("Rule__Entity_MandatoryReference:0:DTMEntity").GetRelatedInstance("OnSameElement:0:FeatureWithName_Presentation").FeatureName
