Hey there,
I am trying to understand the workflow required to use the Sight Visibility Tools in OpenRoad Designer to evaluate sight distance for a design developed in ConceptStation and then exported to ORD.
I have developed a design in ConceptStation (v 10.00.11.32) and have exported the design to a DGN. When I open the DGN in ORD, the proposed design as well as the existing terrain and aerial imagery all come in and are displayed in a 3D model - very similar in appearance to ConceptStation. The existing terrain is brought in as a .3sm Scalable Mesh: Terrain, and the proposed design is brought in as an "Extended Element". I have also imported the ALG and Speed Table. While the sight visibility tool does recognize the .3sm file as the existing terrain, I cannot seem to get it to recognize the proposed elements as the "design terrain".
I have tried to "drop" the proposed extended element - which then drops the extended elements to several mesh elements. From there I attempted to "Convert to Mesh", but the program crashes every time.
Can anyone provide some guidance on how to get ORD to recognize the "extended objects" as the Proposed Design/Surface?
Thanks!
