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,

By running the earthwork do you mean create cut/fill volumes or element quantities?
Cut/fill volumes
Thanks. The tool keeps making the program crash in my corridor files. In a clean file with a corridor the tool runs but doesn't create any volumes.
I am currently in the process of creating staged cross sections and wanted to use this method. However, it seems the corridor clipping tool cannot be used on a referenced corridor. I have several sequential corridors that I wanted to reference into my MOT drawing and clip to cut sections. Of course I do not want to clip the original corridors, as they are the proposed design. Is the best option to create copies of the proposed corridor DGNs and clip them? I would rather not do this as I don't want to keep track of changes across these duplicate drawings. Or is there another workflow that I am missing?
You need to use Clip Mask tool to do it. Corridor clipping tool can only be done in an active corridor in which you use another overlapping corridor or clipping shape as clipping area.
