Use of SS4 Feature Definitions in ORD

Here are my findings...

1. In the file
"C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CONNECT 10.00.00\Configuration\WorkSpaces\Arcadis-NSW.cfg"
The line number 35 should read like this:

CIVIL_WORKSPACE_TEMPLATE_LIBRARY_NAME = W2B-Templates-B3.itl

…as this is to only set the name and no path is needed.

2. Your Feature Definitions Mesh settings do not include the pointer to their feature symbologies. You missed this column in your spreadsheet. This is why your templates are not showing correct.

3. The slow down of the template editor is because you are including a DGNLib of Subsurface Utilities that has not been converted. It is seeing features in this file and trying to resolve but it can’t.
"C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CONNECT 10.00.00\Configuration\WorkSpaces\Arcadis-NSW\Standards\Dgnlib\Feature Definitions\RMS Subsurface Utilities Feature Definitions.dgnlib"

If you rename that files extension to something like *.old, then the problem goes away. This DGNLib will need to be updated.

4. In the file "C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CONNECT 10.00.00\Configuration\WorkSpaces\Arcadis-NSW.cfg" line # 99 is wrong. It should read like this:

MS_DGNLIBLIST > $(_USTN_WORKSPACESTANDARDS)Dgnlib/Feature Definitions/*.dgnlib

5. When importing the symbologies and features, make sure to always start with a new dgnlib if you are going to do the bulk editing.

Mark, please email me directly your SS4 dgnlib(s) so I can take a look.

Thanks Chuck,

Unfortunately I don't see any terrain model display options in the original SS4 data (see below) - could it be anything else?

Mark, the way the upgrade for Surface Features works is as follows:

1. If in SELECTseries 4, the Surface Feature uses an Element Template where the Element Template has enabled properties for a Terrain Model Display, then the Surface Feature will get converted to an OpenRoads Terrain Model Feature Definition.

2. If in SELECTseries 4, the Surface Feature uses an Element Template where the Element Template does not enable properties for a Terrain Model Display, then the Surface Feature will get converted to an OpenRoads Mesh Feature Definition.

Thanks,
Chuck
