These videos are review of corridor creation. It focuses on efficiency and the use of the corridor contextual ribbon.

1. Apply the primary assembly to the entire project length
2. Set the frequency according to FDM standards.
3. Set the targets horizontal and vertical targets.
   1. Do not forget the slope control profile targets for the curb and gutter and the driveway apron polylines.
   2. Notice how frequencies automatically added at the driveway aprons. They are added because the corridor is targeting the apron polylines

Corridor contextual ribbon commands

• Split Region: Split regions as the intersection curb returns. If the curb return regions are not known yet, approximate the locations. By starting with the single region and splitting it, targets do not have to be reset for each region.
• Region Properties: At an intersection region, use the region properties command from the corridor contextual ribbon. Change out the assembly to one intended for the intersection region. You may need to reset targets for this region. Civil 3D will attempt to match the targets, but they need to be checked. Change the frequency to the intersection standard (2.5 ft).
• Match Parameters: Use the match parameters command from the corridor contextual ribbon to copy the assembly, frequency, and targets to all similar intersections.
