Hi Arash,

Have a look in your DWG export settings. The setting you use for "Non-Default Design models" and "Create Seperate Files for Sheets" controls this and should allow you to keep it all in one DWG file.

Thank you Mark. I selected both drawing and sheet models and it worked. The only issue is that more than one dwg file is created and I need to delete all except one which includes all cross sections.

Hi Arash,

Make sure your DWG export settings includes merging of References. No need for any manual fence to file processes.

Also, make sure the drawing models are selected at the same time as the Sheet models so they come out together. This is required for both DWG and DGN when trying to get a multi-model merged output.

ORDumpsterfire will not produce static sections.

Once you have the ORD sections, follow the steps in the linked post.

You will end up with static cross sections EXACTLY like V8i/InRoads (mainly because Benzi Papo is a genius).

No I didn't. I have to figure out how to make a set of static sections.

If the steps in the linked post are followed you will get a set of static cross sections just like V8i/InRoads produces. Did you get that far? From there I would expect you should be able to get it into dwg format.

I tried it by exporting to V8 dgn first and then exporting to dwg, but still it's not working.

It works perfectly if you export to a V8 dgn.

Maybe do that and then convert to a dwg?
