Hi guys
I need to export some models designed in Openroads to 3D Solids so I can imprt them to Navisworks. I have been told that if I save an Openroads model as a DWG, it will export the drainage to 3D Solids, then I can NWCOUT from there. When I "Save As" or "Export" to DWG, the pipework is exported as flat polylines..... What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Please note this doesn' t always happen but often enough for us to not to not bother even trying to import OR dgns
Regards,

Sorry, but I can't replicate your problem
This is what I get when I open a dgn in Navisworks
Thanks Marks. So basically you export Default-3D model to dwg? and than meshes can be used for clsh deteciton in Navis?
Thanks. It happens my meshes dont; look good in navis. What is your workflow when you have to deliver road models to coordinator working with Navisworks? My preferable soultion would be to provide imodel created out of Dfault-3d model.
Will appraciate you hints and tips.
thanks!
Hi Adam,
In order to avoid some errors during export, we create a new 3d only DGN, reference in the Default-3d model only (with unwanted levels turned off) and merge to master. This works well and has all civil data stripped so they are all Unlocked Microstation meshes.
Except for the open meshes created by clipped corridors, etc. Standard clash detection in Navisworks works fine. Personally I prefer the one in SUE but we don't have a choice most of the time.
