First what is a .grd file?
I was sent a .grd file from open pit mine who has hired the firm I work for to do some road design.
I was told that .grd file is some kind of dtm. I was told to get it into open roads designer. I am not seeing anything on how to do so. Anyone have instructions?
Hi Aaron,
at first, be aware this is Spanish MicroStation forum, not English OpenRoads Designer one. I recommend to move your question to right forum. To move existing discussion, use More > Move tool available under your original post.

Who knows. You should ask the person who sent the file for more details.

Did you use Internet to find more information? GRD extension looks like to be used for different formats, e.g. DIVA-GIS (together with .gri file) or in ArcGIS (containing grid definition) and also few others.

At first you have to find out in what software it was created and what format it really is. But probably this format is not supported, so you should ask for another format (e.g. simple text file, that can be used to create DTM in ORD).

Wow Jan, Yes I did ask the person who tasked me with getting the file/data into microstation, and they don't know and told me to spend sometime to research it. Yes I did look it up on the internet and found the same info you did and was hoping that I could come to this community and receive more insight. I assume that the file is a supported format since it is an file type option. .Thanks for your time.

In what application? I don't have that option for File->Open in MicroStation CONNECT Update 15.2.

Perhaps the folks in the OpenRoadsDesigner Forum or one of the Geo Forums are more knowledgeable?
