How can construction staging be modeled in GEOPAK SS4? Before OpenRoads, we typically had plan sheets and typical sections to show staging for lane shifts, temporary pavement, crossovers, etc. Quantity calculations were quite cumbersome for each phase. How can OpenRoads make this more efficient? Would each phase be modeled as a separate corridor? Each with its' own terrain model?
Thanks in advance,

Using the Clip Mask tool would not help me in generating an MOT model though, correct? I need to create cross sections for two phases of construction and wanted to avoid remaking a lot of templates for each phase. Do you know of any other methods for clipping a model to generate phased sections?
My understanding is it will help you generating your desired MOT phases. Clipped areas wont show on your cross sections. The only other method that I know of is creating a corridor / corridors for each phase as described by Jason Harkless above. Any temporary end conditions/pavements/etc can be done by hanging them onto temporary alignments created for each phase (perhaps along the clipped areas).
Bentley hosted a Coffee Corner recently on this topic where the presenter does not suggest corridor clipping. Here is a link to the event: Staged Cross Sections
