Creating a Terrain Model from Multiple Corridors

I am attampting to create a terrain model from several corridors.  The location is in an area where several ramps converge and would like to use the terrain model to define the detailed grading that a simple corridor can not produce.

What is the preferred method for something like this?  Is the terrain model even considered the best practice here?

If I import various features from the corridor they come in as a whole entity which is much longer than what I need.  Also, these features can not be modified in any way to trim them to the desired length.

I have thought about making horz. and vert. geometry along the desired features but this seems labor intensive.

  • I have add good success doing the following:

    • Create an offset horizontal feature (offset=0) along the corridor template geometry line over the portion you want to include in the TM.
    • Create a project profile also using the template geometry line.
      • I noticed that if the TG line includes gaps that the TM does not include it for whatever reason.  If you have this situation just add vertical geometry snapping to the offset lines
    • Import these feature as terrain model boundary elements

    Hope this helps someone.
