Hi Klaus,

Why not try the "Cut from Existing Ground" tool in the ORD Geotechnical workflow (under 3D Modeling):

Hi Erdem,

Problem is that the surfaces are overlapping and they are not in the same level, because its above at some places and lower on other places, see picture underneath.

Hello Klaus,

If there is no compatibility problem between two surfaces, if one of the surfaces is always lower than the other in the areas where they overlap, you can create a common minimum surface by creating a complex terrain. In the form that appears after creating the new complex terrain, you will set the first surface on the upper level as the primary surface. You will combine the second lower level surface with the merge command.

If there are different regions on both surfaces that must be minimum, I think this is not a feature within the scope of ORD. Rather, this is characteristic of software working on topographic maps and geodesy. In our workflow, we carry out these studies through different software.

Best regards,

Erdem
