In GEOPAK SS2 I could easily create a surface from a corridor and a tin file would be automatically generated. I could then extract a profile from this tin and draw it on a profile cell using the Draw Profile command. In SS3 how do I create a tin (or a terrain) from a corridor so that I can continue to show an extracted profile using SS2's Draw Profile command? An example of this is analyzing EP profiles for low points that might be caused by superelevation transitions for instance, and many other situations.

I found a video link (below) that explains the process of creating a terrain from a corridor. However, what used to happen with the click of the Create Surface button in SS2 now takes an eight minute video to explain. I thought one of the advantages to using SS3 is that everything would be dynamically linked so that when one part of a design changes the effects woudl trickle through. This seems like a lot more steps are necessary now to accomplish what could be done before with a single mouse click, and the results are no more dynamically linked in SS3 than they were in SS2.
Am I missing something?

Hi Josh,
seems you and I are going in parallel with regard to our learning process... I was looking at this only today.
I used the "Terrain > create Corridor Alternate Surfaces" to create the terrain from the example I'm currently working on. That seems to work OK...
Might be an option.
I know its there for a different purpose, but sometime you just have think a little laterally.
Thanks Michael. I didn't know about that tool. I'll have to edit my templates to have an "alternate surface" that is the top, finished grade.
