Work with targets
- [Teacher] Civil 3D corridors have the ability to dynamically interact with objects in the drawing. This is made possible through targets. Let's see how this works. Before I can show you how to target something in this corridor, we actually need to go to the assembly and make sure the sub-assembly that we're using for targets is set up to do so. To do that, I'll click on this right lane sub-assembly, and then I'll go to sub-assembly properties. I need to go to the parameters tab and look at the transition setting here. You'll notice that it says hold offset and elevation, so basically those two together means hold the edge of the lane right where it is. Don't allow it to move. And as I look through the different options, you can see that there are quite a few. What we want to do is hold the grade and change the offset. You'll notice that this lane is set at a slope of minus 2%, which we want to hold, and we want to…
