Help! I am taking over for a PM who just left our organization and am working on the drainage design for a project. I have an existing terrain model and just received aerial imagery. I have been able to reference the aerial imagery and align it with the terrain model, but I cannot change the display to show contours from the terrain model over the aerial imagery. Line work appears over the imagery, but the terrain model won't display. I'm relatively new to OpenRoads, so I don't know if there is a process to change the terrain display to line work so it displays over the imagery.
Thank you!

Can you use Priorities assigned to the reference files? Often that setting's column is not displayed in the reference file dialog boxes so users are not aware of it existence.

I was going to suggest that, but I don't think priority would be available for the 3d file. Priority only works for 2d files. It is worth looking into. My other thought was to see if you can adjust the Z value of the contour file reference. I don't think that would be available in the 2d file either.

I think he said he was in a 2D file referencing a 3D file, so priorities might work.
I saw he was using a 2d sheet file. I just don't know how 3d files are handled in a 2d file. I think any 2d file attached will have the priority settings available, but those settings are not available in a 3d file. I don't think a priority can be set on a 3d file even when referenced to a 2d file. I don't really have experience in that area, but I've seen other posts with 3d files in a 2d sheet model. It's been a long time since I've seen any though.
