Inroads Import Features into Surface

I have been trying to do it with a selection set, but unfortunately no matter what settings I have used I still get multiple features with the append function on unless I import each linestring individually. 

I haven't tried using the advanced import yet. I will have to see if that works any different.

 EDIT: Advanced import doesn't do what I want either... I seems there is not a way to import multiple non-conected linestrings into one feature all at one time.

Hi truckmann,
Let me approach this a different way... are you wanting them in one feature because you are going to use them as a point control?  If that is the case, you might try just giving them all the same Style and use a Style Constraint on the point, instead of point controls.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

That might work.  I guess to do that will have to put my proposed curb freatures in to the existing tin. Instead of keeping them seperated into a proposed feature tin like I was planning.

That is true, but if you are willing to use the style constraint, then you could import these graphic as an horizontal alignment into the geometry project.  When you use the Import Geometry From Graphics command, there is a toggle that lets you import "All Selected Elements Added to Single Alignment".  This imports one, discontinuous alignment from all the selected linestrings (actually what you are wanting to do in the surface).  If you assign this alignment the style that the Style constraint is looking for, it works just the same as if they were in the DTM.

Oh right I forgot about being able to use the style constraint with alignments. That could be benefical in several ways for curb control since it would give me an easy way to get cordinate data from the alingment for the curbs also.

Thanks.
