1. No, I do not mean 'Select by attributes'. In the OpenRoads Modelling workflow > Terrain tab > Miscellaneous group, there is 'Graphical Filter Manager'. Use this to define what you want included in your terrain.If you have a consistent convention, put this graphic filter in a DNLIB so that it is always available to all your users.

2. Yes.

3. Yes. All the files are referenced, and the graphical filter will create the terrain.

Mark, thanks for your quick response. If I could ask a few more questions about your answer.

-by graphical filter you mean "select by attributes"?

-can this be done for the corridors and civil cels, eliminating the need to create a "final mesh"

-so i could have my corridor files and civil cel files attached to a file and create this selection set to choose the elements that i wanted to create the terrain model from. would you choose these elements from the 3d view?

thanks for your help, brian

The easiest way is to create a graphical filter. Assuming you have some sort of convention for your features e.g. EOP etc. the graphical filter will pick up all EOPs etc. from the corridors and civil cells, creating a terrain from the multiple corridors. (set the end condition features as Boundary type in the filter so no triangles go outside them).
