How do I create a clipped terrain model in OpenRoads? Are terrain models always created in the 3D model?
Hi Jason,
This wiki demonstrates how to create a clipped terrain model: https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/w/road_and_site_design__wiki/17434/video-terrain-model-clipping. Terrain models are always created in the 3D model or 3D dgn. It is best practice to create a terrain model in a 3D dgn, and reference it to the 2D space of your 2D dgn project file.

Hi Holly,
I am trying to import XML in PowerCivil, since importation is failing due to the large file (800MB), I loaded in OpenRoads Designer CONNECT Edition where is working. However I have to work in PowerCivil and I tried to split/divide the model in small ones but I cannot edit the Terrain model in OpenRoads, any solutions?
Thanks in advance,
Pedro.
I would split the terrain into smaller ones within ORD. Then, export each terrain to a DTM. Then, create terrains with the DTMs in PowerCivil. You can only open dgns created in ORD as read-only in PowerCivil.
Thanks, I did it an exported to XML which were imported in PowerCivil, now I merged them Creating Complex Terrain Model.
