I have a corridor but I am trying to add the proposed culverts in there.
I tried the Subsurface utility but it does not have any nodes/conduit templates for box culverts, so that did not work.
Then I tried to just draw in the culvert and assign profiles/elevations to it but that does not seem very intuitive.
I read something about using a template but was not sure how to go about that.
Should I make a corridor for every culvert with its own culvert template?
I think that would work but I am worried that would take a lot of computer resources.
Thank you
Agree. If anyone has share a video tutorial for adding a Box Culvert into a corridor?
Hi Ahmedi,
ORD 2020 Release 1 also has a new Perpendicular Corridor option to allow for culvert modeling that requires vertical elevations to be perpendicular to the profile (instead of the roadway vertical method). This setting is located in your Corridor Feature Definition properties:

I would treat the headwall as retaining walls in the main corridor cross section template drop and either parametrically or point control the ret wall to form the shape you need.
Then draw a horizontal alignment from the center point of the headwalls on both sides. Add the vertical alignment required and add a box culvert linear template to that alignment.

Granted that there is a LOT of work to set up SU nodes, but once that work is done on the back end, models cannot only be presented accurately, but also quickly. Attached is an 18' x 11' RCB. The model is made up of ONLY SU nodes(one 2D plan headwall, and one 3D headwall) and an entry for the size of this structure in the Conduit Catalog. Using Subsurface utilities, we can lay out structures like this in a matter of minutes and run a hydraulic analysis as well. Furthermore- and what is most important about this approach- is that the information within the model is true "model-centric"; that is, it is true to the future of Construction Information Modeling (CIM). We have spent a great deal of time building these sorts of models, but the end result is future-forward and extremely valuable:
Here is another series of storm models which are attached to existing structures (also modeled in SU):
One of the nicest things about ORD is clash detection, which is illustrated here:
Of course, our clients may or may not see value in such an approach (for now; I feel that it will be imperative in the years to come), but for us Subsurface utilities has been a fantastic and extremely valuable tool! I must give thanks to Mr. Robert Garrett of this forum for inspiring me to tackle this process a year ago.
Are their any videos to display the culvert in the model?.
