RE: Triangles Appear to be Modeling to Ghost Points

Hopefully this photo shows it better. I've placed Arrows to the Actual Points that are being Imported through a New Fieldbook as a .XML. I've Circled what look like the "Ghost Points" that my triangles are connecting to throughout the model.communities.bentley.com/.../Blown-Points.pdf

Not all XML files are created equal. Can you specify a few things?

1. What import tool/method/steps did you use to import your XML (e.g. Terrain import, FieldBook import, etc)?

2. Can you better identify and/or circle the ghosted points?

Tools/method/steps you used?

I see point names that appear to be part of a FieldBook, but this kind of surface modeling doesn't sound like you're using Terrain editing tools or FieldBook edits.

My guess is you have a Survey Field Book Generated Terrain (see Explorer dialog and view OpenRoads Model tab, Terrains and also view the Survey tab for FieldBooks) that only has some elements (maybe only points) linked to the Field Book's Feature Details Terrain Attributes. Since there is no mention of FieldBooks in your post, you may want to review the following Survey Learning Path to gain a better understanding of what could be happening when importing data https://learn.bentley.com/app/Public/ViewLearningPathWithMasterCourseExpanded?lpId=113451
