I'm trying to determine what the equivalent GeoPak tool/file is to InRoads DTM. I know a DTM is a digital terrain model, however, it looks like in InRoads it is more than just an xzy file, or break line file? (I'm not familiar with InRoads) Is it equivalent to a GeoPak Site file, or just an ordinary tin file? I've heard the InRoads DTM has some intelligence to the elements?
Please explain. Thanks in advance.

"Would an option be to laydown the tin file breaklines and just change the symbology of each breakline to a level that represents the item? Would InRoads be able to extract that information and create a DTM with the element attributes? "
I think this would be as close to replicating the surface as you could get. You would have to display the breaklines, points etc. you want in the InRoads surface from Geopak. Then you can Import them into a DTM using the correct feature styles. The feature style in Inroads is what will give the DTM it functionality.
