Add "Do Not Connect Features" button to Corridor Objects Dialog

While modeling complex projects there has been many instances where I would like templates to not connect features between drops. My current workflow is to create a new corridor at these locations. One example is when a new roadway base course section is introduced and the two templates are using the same feature names. The continuation of the feature will cause some transition issues. Another example is when a new lane(s) or shoulder(s) are introduced without a taper and the pavement moves perpendicular to the alignment. Features will transition perpendicular to this new width and some custom template drops of .001 may be required. Another example is across a bridge. Many designers leave a gap in the corridor for conditions like this. The problem with gaps in corridors is the fact the features are still connected across the gap. Running commands like create terrain by graphical filter will select the feature on both sides of the gap causing the finish grade to stretch across the gap no matter what. By being allowed to break the feature(s) this would be resolved.

If this isn't possible maybe allow us to bulk edit template points by adding a prefix or suffix easily to all the points in a template.
