ORD - Break/Split a 3d Linear Element

Question

Hi Everyone, 
 I was hoping to understand how to break/insert gap/split 3D Linear Element Strings? See the attached 
 I'm trying to create a terrain from an imported mx genio file, however before I create this I need to remove the strings from the overpass above. 
 For some reason the standard Drawing-Modify Tools do not work. It appears that you can only break strings that have been created in ORD... 
 
 Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
 Thanks, 
 Glen

Hi everyone, 
 Bentley have provided a work around, see the attached image. Its a fair bit of work, but it does work. 
 This issue has been logged. Defect 1135302:Not able to manipulate/break/drop 3D linear elements 
 Cheers, 
 Glen

Hi Keith, 
 
 A quick solution to split the elements for "static" 3d use is to export to DWG (as DWG doesn't support void/gaps in linstrings). 
 
 This is not really a bug, because it is the product of your 3d corridor modeling. To avoid the issue Glen had we have adopted a workflow where we use 3 corridors for bridge overpasses - one on each approach and one for the bridge. We then also use clipping boundaries to accomodate bridge skews, etc. 
 
 Another method is to use 3 templates- all copies of each other, but with different point names. Then when you apply the 3 template drops (in the same corridor), you will get seperate linestrings per template drop.
