https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/f/geopak-inroads-mx-openroads-forum/115023/openroads-ss4-linear-template-or-corridorI am modeling a curb return (pictured below) and was wondering is it better to model it with a linear template or make it a corridor? What are the advantages/disadvantages of making it a linear template instead of its own corridor?en-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/352886?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 14 Jan 2016 19:19:20 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:050d2d5b-12bf-450c-a241-9be0d41581b7Wesley NybergGotcha.

This is the same setting in the corridor design stage for &quot;Include Critical Sections&quot;, External Point Controls.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/352796?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 14 Jan 2016 12:11:48 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:68dcee45-6a6b-4c80-9458-efeda245e3c3Wesley NybergAll the things you listed were pretty much what I had gathered but I wasn&#39;t sure if I was missing something. Personally I will probably just make everything a corridor because I like the flexibility with template management/drop interval (also end condition exceptions) over being able to flip it. I am a bit unclear of what you mean by linear templates will honor external point controls for template drops can you explain that a little more? Thanks!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/352786?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 14 Jan 2016 11:20:44 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:d4ad5869-2806-4fa0-bf5b-dfb544d26422Marc BachandA linear template is a mini-corridor. It can do everything a corridor can do with the exception of a few tools. I would suggest you place both, look under the hammer icon in the context sensitive menu, and see the available tools for each. That should help you decide.<br /> <br /> IMO, linear templates are nice because you can reflect them about the geometry meaning you only need to develop one template, &quot;facing&quot; one direction and then simply choose the side to apply it too.<br /> <br /> A corridor will give you better flexibly with template management/drop interval. The linear template drop interval is only determined by the stroking definition. One thing to note, even though it does not say so specifically (except in the what&#39;s new section of the 845 version) linear templates will honor external point controls for template drops as well.<br /> <br /> For this particular application I would use a linear template.<br /> <br /> Marc<div style="clear:both;"></div>
