I agree that droping complex element to apply edits may bring a lot of problems. Some, with corridors, can be sloved with this corridor reattache key-in. However more painfull to me is that on dropping horizontal complex, all its children (vertical alignments) will be lost.
You can try Complex Redefine command to partially replace section of your complex elemnent.
I ve been using OR since it was released in 2012 and didn't found best workflow. For now my workflow is to create major alignments with legacy InRoads tools and import these to Civil Geometry (CG). This way I can always update my CG to ALG edits. All side roads are developed with 100% OR tools. I'd love to relay on new tools only and hope it will be possible with OpenRoads Designer soon.
