OBM - What is the best practice for not having the roadway corridor and the bridge deck overlap when displaying in 3D?

From playing around with the software I see several options for not having these overlap

Clip the roadway corridor in the area of the bridge
- Disadvantages
  - Terrain models for the entire corridor are not available for the clipped (bridge) area of the corridor
Leave a gap in the roadway corridor, where the bridge is located.
- Disadvantage - OBM has no linear features to follow for deck constraints
Use a template with only the linear features representing the CL, EOP, EOS, etc. for the limits of the bridge
- Disadvantage - How do you create a terrain model for the entire corridor if there's no pavement/surface on the bridge?

Are there other ways of accomplishing this that I haven't thought about?

Overlay Component Cross Section Display

Carlos.Lopez — Tue, 09 Sep 2014 16:26:11 GMT

I'm having an issue with overlay components displayed in cross section. The component works as it should in the roadway designer, projecting to the surface at a depth of half an inch. However when I display the generated surface components in cross-sections, the overlay components do not show as being projected to the surface.

Has anyone else run into this issue? Attached is a screen shot of what I'm experiencing.

Thanks in advance for your help.
