Exercise 3: Visualizing a Corridor

In this exercise, you will visualize the corridor using the rendering and
hatching features in AutoCAD Civil 3D.
Rendering a corridor requires that you assign an AutoCAD render material to
each of the appropriate subassembly links. Rendering produces a realistic
image of the corridor that is useful for on-screen presentations.
Applying hatching to a corridor requires that you apply a material area fill style
to each of the appropriate subassembly links. Hatching produces a less realistic
image of the surface than rendering, but hatching prints easily through
AutoCAD.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Rendering Corridor
Models.
