I am currently using the FDOT State Kit and am running into issues with DTM's in ORD 10.10. I build the terrain models using the selection set method, from there I will deactivate survey processing rules, complete a preliminary trim of the triangles, extract a graphic of the DTM boundary, reactivate the survey processing rules and add the graphic boundary, from there I will continue to QC the DTM and make any necessary edits to the points and linework. I am noticing dozens of linear features being removed from the terrain model. They are set to breakline and have had to be included in the DTM at one point or another but as I make edits to the data I find more and more not in the DTM. On and 8 mile topo we are talking dozens. I have only started noticing this on my most recent projects so it coincides with the use of ORD 10.10. I can't imagine this being an issue with older versions since I have not noticed it in the past on other projects using previous versions of the software. Has anyone else ran into this issue? Anybody know the cause or have a better workflow that helps prevent it?
Thanks,
Adam
Are these on a common Feature Definition? You may want to check the settings for that FD (and/or the features themselves) to see if the Terrain Model Attribute property is set correctly. For example, below is a wood line which we obviously wouldn't want included in the terrain model so it's set properly.

Everything has the proper feature definition, that is my problem, if you were to look through field book in the details window everything would look correct but when you start to pan through the DTM you will find breaklines (that have been set to Breakline) not included in the DTM.
