3 h

Topic M09

Quality, styles and optimization

Practical 3-hour module covering Label set, Corridor rebuild, Surface cleanup, and Object inquiry.

apply a consistent set of annotations to an object
update the corridor after changes to its dependencies
limit unnecessary data and manage boundaries for a more reliable surface
quickly query slopes, elevations, stations, or other design properties
