ModelBuilder - Feature Definition

Hi 

I have follow up questions, hoping it's okay that I use this QnA. 

We need to input 200+ culverts and trying to streamline the process with model builder. However, the geombaseline & terrain is not being picked up. 

Also I just wanted to mention that the data I'm importing with Model Builder (into OR) is from a Flex Table. 

I attempted 2 methods: Referencing in the geom-baseline N4-6Y, and using the original dgn with N4-6Y geom-baseline.

Both unsuccessful. 

Data input 

I specifically want to give this node an Elevation & Baseline Feature Reference 

No feature def given as already specified in input 

Data not picked up 

Have to select Geom-baseline as a station offset, the offset is the only data (15.113) is remembered by node

I also have to reselect the terrain 

  • Hello Tsholofelo,

    Since this is a new issue, I have split thread to a new one.

    To be clear, you are using ModelBuilder to add data to a feature definition in OpenRoads Designer? If so, first make sure you have the latest version of ORD installed.

    Otherwise, would you be able to send the files you are working with so I can try to reproduce the issue.

    Regards,

    Scott

  • Hello Tsholofelo,

    I have some input from a colleague on the OpenRoads Designer team.

    There is currently no easy way to map data to the ORD Elevation Reference and Station/Offset Reference fields in ModelBuilder (you may be able to map fields in ModelBuilder, but you will not be able to set up the rules needed to update the data when it changes). This is something the OpenRoads team will review for a future version.

    For now, it is recommended that you instead import the data, then create a selection set of the nodes (which you can do through FlexTables for example). This will load the selected elements in the MicroStation Properties dialog. Then you can set the Elevation Reference and the Station/Offset Reference fields for all of the selected elements at one time.

    Regards,
    Scott

  • Thanks Scott, the selection set will have to suffice.
