Drape element Fail

I was not aware that the terrain model level needed to be on to be draped. When the view is anything other than wireframe you typically can't see what are essentially 2D elements at elevation 0 because the terrain is above and blocking them from view. Anyway, it worked - thanks.

The file you gave me has just the exist4.stm (after deleting the clipped) Ensure the you have switched the level containing the STM on as it must be displayed. I switched to View 4 which has all level turned on and was able to select each line for draping successfully. There were 3.

If you wish you can create service request and we can have a screen sharing session.

I deleted the clipped STM and tried to drape both remaining terrain models with two different elements. Still not working.

Hi Andrew,

Try removing the clipped STM element first. Then use the Drape tool by selecting the lines required.

I'll upload the .stm file, but I thought it was an already an element within the ORD .dgn file itself.

Can you also send the STM file that you wish to use with the drape tool?

I've uploaded the data. The initial view appears as the above. The line(s) I'm trying to drape are in the REQD ROW level, parallel and left of the proposed pathway on the left side of the road.

Hi Andrew,

Can you share your dataset with us? This will help us to better investigate the issue. I you can then please follow the instructions in the link below to use our Secure File Upload:

Thanks Mark, but I'm still getting the error. Trying to drape a single line element.

As the search shows, go to the 'Reality Modeling' workflow, and open the STM dialog (little icon on the right hand side of the STM text). From the dialog menu, Edit > Drape Element.

The help file in 'C:\Program Files\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CONNECT Edition\OpenRoadsDesigner\Docs\en' explains the options.

I couldn't find a toolbox like I used in Inroads so I just type "drape" in the search and get this. I tried the second drape tool but couldn't figure out what the parameters were asking for, and with no manual I just gave up.

Are you using the "Drape Element" tool from the "Scalable Terrain Model" dialog and not the one from the Point Clouds/Reality Mesh managers?
