Sorry Chris I meant I CANNOT. When I try to force it to be recalculated, by changing the edge method for instance, the program freezes. I guess your terrain has an issue so if you could try to recreate a new one that'd worth a try.

So you were able to get the TIN to triangulate and are you able to export it to a TIN or XML?

Hi Chris, not sure what happened with your terrain but I can have it to be recalculated. Have you tried to recreate a new one?

Marc,

Thank you for the feedback but when I try to edit the terrain by updating/deleting/adding a feature I get the message "Method Requires Triangulated DTM". Do you have any other recommendations or solutions?

Thank you

For some reasons the triangles are not calculated, if you try to display them there's none. A solution could be to force the Terrain Model to be recalculated by updating/deleting/adding a feature.

Marc,

Thank you for the response, I have uploaded the file to the Bentley.sharefile site (overall surface-4-15-2020).

I have one overall corridor that I am trying to generate a proposed ground for my entire project, I will need to add more surfaces to this model but right now, I cannot seem to get the main corridor exported. I would use the top mesh method, which is what I typically would do to generate a surface, but when I create the surface using that method, the surface triangulation is inconsistent.

In the file, I uploaded there is a terrain in there that I created from the corridor elements, but as I mentioned earlier, I cannot export this to a TIN, XML, or DTM.

Thank you

Hi Chris, can you upload your files here and I'll have a look: https://bentley.sharefile.com/r-rdf978af28424045a

If there are several corridors or Terrain, please let me know which one causes the issue.
