Hello,
When importing 3D shapefile linestrings into my utility model using modelbuilder - ORD does not take into account the element elevations at each bend. I have a 3D linestring within my shapefile representing a ventilation conduit. This conduit has several vertices between the start and stop nodes. When I import that data using modelbuilder, modelbuilder is smart enough to add bends to the conduit, but the 3D element elevations are not coming through. They are simply being assigned an elevation linearly from the start and stop nodes.
Is there a way to have modelbuilder recognize the 3D vertex elevations between the start and stop nodes?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Andrew,
I suspect you are running 10.10.01.03. I have seen this same behavior and have a defect filed against the issue, #1140466. Unfortunately, there is a further regression in the newest version where elevation information is ignored completely on import. If doing an offset from a surface gets you close enough for your needs you can use the Civil Geometry Vertical tools to generate a new profile for the line and set it active. That should get you close while maintaining your attribution.
Hope that helps.

Hi Steven,
Thank you for your response, and thank you for filing an issue. Sad to hear that ORD has regressed.
Thank you for your help.
