Just like the title suggests, I have a bunch of Civil 3D Corridors in which a design firm created. Unfortunately they did not create the entire roadway section or apply any end conditions to their corridors. I have been tasked with modeling these corridors with the correct sections, end conditions, etc.
If I have all of the Civil 3D Geometry, Assemblies, Super Elevation data, Surfaces of Roadway Corridors and even extracted a AutoCAD Solid from Civil 3D to reference into my DGN, is there an efficient method for recreating these corridors in ORD?
The L/R EOP would be in your template.You should not assign the feature constraint in the template - you can add the point control later, telling the system that the EOP is to follow the feature both horizontally and vertically. The following video may help.

Mark- To follow the EOP Feature Line as you are suggesting, I would need to define a Left and Right EOP Line, give it a feature definition and then, modify my template to have the Edge of lane follow geometry as a point control within my template correct? By Checking "Horizontal Feature Constraint" assigning the feature definition it needs to follow in providing a range limit for that feature line? Do I need to have that feature line set as the Active Profile while doing this to have the 3D edge match my Superelevation?
Thank you very much for the information. This was very helpful.
It may be easier to just use the alignments and recreate the corridors from scratch - especially as they did not model very much in the first place. If you have 3D features from C3D which represent the superelevated road edges, you could use them as point controls for your new edges.
It's a lot of works: Import with landxml geometry and surfaces, reformat (slightly) superelevation CSV file to match Openroads formating, create the superelevation section, create the lanes then import superelevation from civil 3D, get the graphics of the assembly and import graphicaly as Openroads Template, then reassign constraints to those imported templates. Assign the superelevation to the corridor, then do your end conditions, X-sections and 3D model
You need to know very well openroads and civil 3D to convert everything.
