Quick Profile Transitions using Corridor Features

Question

Is it possible to use a corridor feature like a road edge of pavement to be able to create a quick profile transition or be able to see it in a profile view. I already have mainline corridor modeled and am trying to build my side-road intersections. I would be nice to be able to snap or grab the feature that already exists so that I can do a quick profile transition. In SS2 I would have just displayed my corridor as a surface in the profile view and made the vertical alignment tie into that. Now in SS4 I don't see a way to snap or view the corridor unless I first export it as a surface/terrain model. Using InRoads SS4 .845

In your example of a side street tie in to a main roadway, simply use the quick profile from surface command. The name of the command is a bit confusing as you can also select a corridor as your "surface". When the command asks you to identify the surface just select the corridor object in 2d view and you should see a surface line similar to your ss2 workflow. 
 
The commands referenced in the link below will project a longitudinal feature on to an alignment. Those commands work on 2d geometry (with associated profiles of course). The Q5 and Q6 commands will accomplish the same projection but you can use 2d geometry or 3d linears.
