This post is in regard to this Civil 3D Idea:
https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-ideas/corridor-boundaries/idi-p/5908587
This post will provide a workflow to programmatically delete tin triangles outside of the corridor.
This code deletes triangles, but it could be modified to add the polylines as boundaries instead of going through the triangles that are outside of the corridor.
It's not full proof, but it's intended to quickly get triangles that are outside of the corridor for design purposes.
The MPolygon requires a reference to this dll:
