-===[[#File Federation | File Federation]]===
-It is extremely important to protect the data that we are designing. All CONNECT edition data lives in a DGN and can no longer be recovered from an external source such as a GPK file. Federating files allow allows for maximum efficiency when working with a large design team since there is less risk of two designers needing to access the same file.
-'''In General'''
-*Each alignment should have it's own DGN
-*Each alignment should have it's own Superelevation DGN (if required)
-*Each corridor should have it's own DGN
-*Each designer should work in their own template library
-While this does create a lot of DGN files on a large project, container files can be created for each type of file to make accessing or reviewing other data more streamlined.
-===[[#Corridor Processing Order | Corridor Processing Order]]===
-Understanding what a corridor is doing it is processing is important because the techniques that are used to create the corridor can have a large impact on processing speed. In general, the corridor is processed if the following order:
-# The template is dropped, and points are placed in their default location as they are currently saved in the template library
-# Parametric constraints are applied; Points are recalculated
-# Horizontal Feature Constraints are applied; Points are recalculated
-# Point Controls are applied; Points are recalculated
-# Display rules are computed
-# End conditions are solved
-'''Some important notes on the above processing order'''
-* You can think of the order of processing as a priority for that specific constraint. For example, if a point control and a parametric constraint are placed on the same point over the same station range, the point control will win. This is because point controls are calculated after parametric constraints.
-* The locations of the points are calculated and updated multiple times. Display rules are not calculated until after the location of the points have been established. A complex template with many display rules will process much slower than a simple template because the locations of template points are calculated multiple times even if the component is not visible.
-===[[#Corridor Modeling Techniques | Corridor Modeling Techniques]]===
-There are many different effective approaches to corridor modeling. In general, the modeling approach will fall into one of three categories
-# Super Template: One template is used for each corridor. The corridor is manipulated and changed using a series of complex display rules.
-# Simple Templates:  Multiple full width templates are created for each typical cross section.
-# Multi-Corridor: Each major component of the corridor is broken into separate corridors. For example, a backbone corridor for the lanes and pavement section, and left and right side corridors for shoulders, curb and gutter, side slopes, and ditches.
-It is important to decide the method that will be used to model the project early in the modeling process, as it can be difficult to change gears after a substantial part of the modeling has been completed. The table below has been created to compare the different modeling approaches

-Items to take into consideration are:
-* How many designers will be working on modeling related tasks
-* How important is corridor processing speed
-** On a small project, processing speed may not be a consideration as all of the above methods will process fast
-* Skill level of the design team
-** While super templates can be difficult to modify, an experienced user may find this easier than managing many templates and corridors
-** How comfortable is the design team with managing many files
