is there a way to get a template to go around sharp corners like illustrated in the screenshot?
What i'd like the the baviour like the multiline above the corridor with trimmed inner corner and extended outer corner geometry
You can try using End condition exceptions to eliminate grading efforts within the overlap area. If part of the overlap occurs in the backbone, you might be able to define some point controls to limit overlapping segments. Finally, you might want to revert to site grading techniques where the road and curb are modeled with corridor or linear templates, but the sidewalk and grading is done using 2D Geometry with Profiles and then applied surface templates to define any pavement or grading materials.

Hi Michel. This is definitely an issue for corridors. For linear templates, you could maybe change the value for the Exterior Corner Sweep Angle. Try 01°00'00.0". It improved things... You might still need to use Point Control or Horizontal Feature Constraint though, to control the path of your exterior template point with a geometry line. See attached snapshot for an example
