Create terrain from element for intersection area

Hi everyone,

Please help to solve this issue:

To create surface of intersection, I used the tool "terrain -> create terrain from element"

+ If I select both boundary and center line, the result that surface is out of boundary which I don't want.

+ If I only select the boundary, the result that surface is within the boundary as I want, but triangle surface that's wrong because not including center line

+ I tried to create the new centerline within boundary and project profile from long centerline into it, but the terrain is still out of boundary

=> My question that how I create the terrain within boundary but also select both boundary and center line?

  • The normal process I would follow is:

    1) Create the shorter centreline first

    2) Create the road edges at an offset from the shorter centreline (to ensure they do not extend beyond its end station) and kerb returns, and hinge along main road edge between kerb returns

    3) Create a terrain using the road edges, kerb returns and hinge as boundary elements

    4) Use Add Feature with the element type as breakline to add the shorter centreline

    If the boundary of the terrain is still a problem after the above steps then I would guess that it is a tolerance issue where the software is unable to automatically resolve inside/outside for the boundary so closing the entire boundary with an additional element across the back of the intersection (furthest away from the intersection) should help to contain the triangles in the enclosed area of all boundary elements.
