ConceptStation to OpenRoads to Rhino - Issue with Mesh, Extended Elements, and 3D aspect

Hello,

First, I essentially have the same problem as described in this person's post and would really like to get an answer.

I am trying to export my file from OpenRoads to Rhino but everytime we try, the 3D elements are not correctly exported. The file becomes 2-D. We have tried various types of files type, converting to b-spline surface, and all doesn't work. The issue seems to be that when we export from ConceptStation, everything gets converted to extended elements. We turned everything into mesh itself, and tried to convert the mesh to a solid and volume, but nothing work. Has anyone else encountered this problem and how did you solve it?

    Have a look at Speckle Systems, it is free and open source. They have connector for a lot of AEC software. Arup developed connectors for Bentley products.

    What it does is convert from the software native code to a common object language which is saved on speckle services (managed by them or by you) and then allows it to be stream in the recieving software in that softwares native code.

    Changes can be made and then streamed back very similar to how GitHub works, with commits, and forks/branches.

    Regards
