I am trying to figure out how to convert my corridor in Open Roads to Bentley solids so I can split them up into usable components before bringing them into Bentley Navigator. Once in Navigator I need to do a schedule animation for construction staging. Is there a way to do this? I can use the split solids tool on the corridor but it does not retain both sides (yes I have split solids checked).
Is there some other way to split these large corridors up in Navigator or Microstation? If someone needs to show construction staging or really any sub-component of on of these linear corridors we we need a way to break them up after design. Please tell me there is a way to do this and I am just missing the obvious solution.
Cheers,
Terry
Have you seen this article, it may offer a workflow to accomplish this: communities.bentley.com/.../models-for-schedule-simulation.aspx

Awesome thanks!
Kevin,
Are you sure it should work with OpenRoads corridor meshes? I have an empty DGN file where I referenced corridor Default-3D model, I have some shapes in my master file, create selection set, run macro, it is procesing all shapes but none nothing is coppied from reference file into acive master model. Corridor meshes are not splitted.
For BIM, schedule simulation is a must. How can we accomplish that with OpenRoads tools?
Thanks.

I was able to get it to work on a corridor generated from Openroads.
Terry,
Can ou please verify my workflow. It will not work for me.
I have an empty 3D dgn file with corridor Default-3D model referenced (locat, snap and view option are toggled on fo reference file). I draw some simple microstation shapes. elevation is irrelevant, jus planar shapes. shapes are selected and I run macro. Shapes are processing but nothing is coppied from referenced file into active one.
I discovered that some meshes are copied only when fall as a whole into the shape.
I'd appreciate any help on that.
thanks.
So I have only done this once so far.... I am tight on time this morning but will do it again later today (and do a screen record). That said, If I recall the directions they had either were wrong or I interpreted them wrong the first couple times. Try making a copy of your 3D model containing your corridor, reference in your 2D clipping shapes ( make sure they are 2D and shapes not complex strings). Then run the macro from within the file that has the corridor live.
It has been a few days since I got it to work and my memory is a little sketchy since I was up late trying it... but I think this is what got it done.
screen record would be great. However it seems to be a stright forward workflow and it is not working for me with the latest SS3 PowerInroads release (.722)
