Dear OpenRoads community,
We are developing some 3D cells to have some road furniture in our model. They are placed in the model as parametric cells.
We have two issues:
1) If we place the cell in a 2D view is not represented in 3D.
2) If we place the cell in a 3D view is represented in the 2D and 3D but the critical problem is the interoperability with ArcGIS, Naviswork...
We have also placed the cells as a graphical type without success in our workflow. We are using OpenRoads Designer Connect 2020.
So, does anybody has a workflow to create a 3D cell that can be read in ArcGIS or similar software?
Thank you in advance,
Javier
Have a look at a geometry point and the Feature Definitions and Symbology. You can specify a cell in the 2d space and a cell for the 3D space. They can be different cells if you wish. Say for drawing production. Asset manager can be used to export these to a shape file

Dear Chris,
Thank you for your indications. Points me in the right direction. Nevertheless, I find two issues:
I can only associate a 3D object using the node elements.. I have tried to define a feature definition for a geometry point but when I insert a point with the point feature definition only a 2D representation is created.
The other problem that I see is in relation to parametric cell. It looks like I will lose all the benefits of these type of objects as I will need to have one model per variation.
Do you know if Bentley has any workflow in this regards?
Thank you again,
Plan annotation group and feature definition are for the 2D view.
You will need to add a z value to the point for it to create the 3d representation.
Parametric cells. I assume the cell type has been set as parametric and all the variables, constraints are set. Have you used Item types?
Chris,
Thank you again. It was working when I was assigning a Z value. I post a screenshot for future users with the same problem
In relation to the parametric cells, I have set up them in the following way:
This is why I think all the variations need to be moved to individual models loosing the advantage of having a cell library with variations. Any thoughts in this regard?
