Add ROW lines to your section views

Did you know you can add Right of Way lines to your Civil 3d Section Views? Not only can you add them, but they are dynamically linked, meaning they will update with your Section Views as Alignments, Corridors, and Surfaces are modified.

Dynamically Linked

In this example, I updated the pavement width in the corridor to be 30’ instead of 10’. Notice below, that the Section View modified the corridor and left the ROW and CL blocks in the same spot.
