Hi What's the best practice to merge Terrain Models in ORD? Especially very large ones. The only two options I can see are: Using the Create Complex Terrain Model tool. This isn't ideal because it preserves the rules instead of simply merging the terrains. This tool often crashes on large terrains, and I suspect it's because it's trying to rule everything because ORD crashes on the "Processing and Persisting Rule" step. Surely there should be a "Create Simple Terrain Model"for if you don't to persist any rules and relations. Using the Create Terrain Model From File tool and then appending an existing Terrain Model. The problem with this tool is that your only option is Append and you do not get the option to Merge. I feel like this used to be much simpler pre-OpenRoads. Thanks
