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?

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

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
