I am following chapter 4 of the training guide for the existing modeling. 
 This is a sidewalk job and the DTM we have is limited. We have utility lines from our survey that go in</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Modeling Existing Utilities</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/756991?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 Mar 2023 17:20:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:9d421089-9376-4b38-956b-8eb8973cf854</guid><dc:creator>Kristina Ward</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;We won&amp;#39;t be getting any additional DTM unfortunately.

[quote userid="1121733" url="~/communities/user_communities/fdot_cadd_support/f/fdot---general-microstation/242704/modeling-existing-utilities"]does this affect our ability to adjust the vertical offsets once we have the verified utility information[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;By following the null placeholder idea/tip shown in&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qAV0usnjt0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt; this video&lt;/a&gt;, you can more or less future proof any vertical offset relationships that are derived from that complex terrain.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Modeling Existing Utilities</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/756939?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 Mar 2023 13:26:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:0667b14b-788f-418f-9166-c4c71f796d23</guid><dc:creator>Kristina Ward</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" src="/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/343103/pastedimage1678454876490v1.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s basically anywhere the utility goes outside of the DTM to connect to the appropriate node.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Modeling Existing Utilities</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/756938?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 Mar 2023 13:24:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:6b85b97b-2def-4573-b640-04b46bcc1abb</guid><dc:creator>Shawn Cooke</dc:creator><description>[quote userid="1121733" url="~/communities/user_communities/fdot_cadd_support/f/fdot---general-microstation/242704/modeling-existing-utilities"]they look funky in those areas outside[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;Can you clarify what you mean?&amp;nbsp; A screen grab or something to better understand the issue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
