Is there a workflow to create a terrain from a corridor without having to select each element of the corridor?
Thanks
As I said, you would need to create a 'Top Mesh' feature definition for the corridor. Easiest way is to amend the setting of a feature definition that you already have e.g. Design.
I tried this technique (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P68RoK9hH_M&list=PLnJUnxLwu_N6bmJnO4jSyVmADThsPyx1X&index=3) but a terrain model was created using seemingly random points from my template rather than just the top surface. I did not see where to chance the design stage to top mesh when using ORD.
I was able to do this when using Power Inroads SS4 but no longer see where to change the design stage when using Open Roads Designer... is there a new method of creating the top mesh of a corridor?
1. Change the design stage/feature definition to 'Top Surface' (if that does not exist, it will need to be created), and create the terrain from the resulting mesh.
2. Create a terrain graphic filter to select the top surface features only from the corridor, and use it to generate the terrain. This would assume that your top features are different to subsurface features.
