Understanding the Corridor Surface
on June 30, 2018
As you view the assembly insertions along the 3D chain previously shown in Figure 9.3, imagine this as the structural framework of a ship or an airplane. With the framework in place, now imagine the hull or fuselage being installed on the vessel. This is a great way to envision the role of a corridor surface (see Figure 9.5).
Although they appear in Prospector like other surfaces, corridor surfaces are built directly from the corridor and maintain a link to the corridor. They can be displayed as contours, used to create surface profiles, and perform every other function normally associated with surfaces.
