Last updated: 2023-09-07

Overview

This command adds a corridor entity to a surface definition as a breakline. The breakline is in the form of a siteless feature line that is tied to a corridor surface elevation.

Using the Command

1. WisDOT Design tab > Design panel > Surfaces dropdown > Add Corridor Entity as Breakline

   The tool can also be accessed from the command line: DOTADDCORRIDORENTITYASBREAKLINE

   1. Select Surface: Select the surface to add the breakline to.
   2. Select Corridor entity: Select a corridor link or feature line segment to add to the surface definition as a breakline.
      1. The resulting feature line will appear in the Toolspace > Prospector under the siteless Feature Lines. The name will be "BreaklineFromCrdrEntity<[next counter]>"
      2. The corridor object must be in the drawing or data referenced into the drawing.
      3. The surface will automatically update once the corridor entity is selected.
      4. If a corridor surface is in the drawing and is a child of the source corridor, the resulting feature line vertices will be tied to the surface elevation.
      5. If the breakline is no longer desired in the surface definition, the feature line may be deleted. Then, rebuild the surface.
   3. Repeat step B to additional corridor entities to the surface definition.
   4. Enter or ESC to exit the command.
