I'm completly new to OpenTunnel Designer. I use Leapfrog to model the ground and import it to OTD as IFC. The very first step is to import an alignment. I have the Tunnelalignment as an Excelsheet with X/Y/Z for each station.
As I found out the alignment can only imported as LandXML or manually. I also have the Alignment as JSON and tried to convert it to XML but once I import the XML nothing happens. Not even a Error or sth.
I lack the Information to create the Alignment manuelly since the Tool wants some angles for the direction of the alignment which I dont have. Only X/Y/Z Coordinates or the JSON.
My question is: How do you guys deal if u dont get an alignment from OpenRoads or other programms? What options do I have in my case?
For more Details: left is the sample file from Bentley and right is my XML file with every alignment station point in X/Y/Z when I'm importing it. nothing happens.
Hi,
Your xml file does not follow the rules that civil needs in order to correctly create the geometry.
Please have a look at this information
