Hi ,

So, I had the same issue and created multiple terrain models and then made a complex terrain model out of it. It seems to work fine for me.

Thank You

Hi,

I'm currently facing the same problem, trying to create a terrain but I have 49,000 elements. I need the terrain to be linked.

Did you manage to resolve this issue and if so, how?

Thank you!

Ethan

As I stated previously, not all of those elements need to linked, but it will still be more than 10,000 elements that need to be linked.

No, we do not want to keep rebuilding the terrain. That has the potential to introduce mistakes not to mention the added time in doing so. We are still in preliminary design on a complex interchange. The project goes through residential areas with a lot of base map features. We have a lot of survey to be incorporated and there is potential for a substantial amount to be added.

Do you really need the overhead of linking 72000 elements to a terrain? How often does the survey data change? If it did not change that often, would it not be easier to just rebuild the terrain when needed?

So I cannot have an existing terrain model with more than 10,000 linked elements? My surface has 72,000 elements & that does not include the massive amounts of random points.. I realize that not all of them need to be linked, but I will still be over the 10,000 limit. How soon is the enhancement going to be incorporated? I think this is something that needs to be addressed ASAP.

Please see this forum post: https://communities.bentley.com/products/betas/openroadsdesignereap/f/openroads-designer-early-access-forum/128406/terrain-create-by-elements---performance. The element limit for terrains is 10,000. There is an enhancement to increase this: Enhancement 623863: [Terrain] Create Tm>Elements>Please Disable the 10000 Element Limits for testing to see if increasing limit is appropriate
