Corridor Modeler: DTM vs. TIN. Why are they different?

I am working with Corridor Modeler and I have imported a GEOPAK tin file. I had Corridor Modeler draw cross-sections showing existing ground both with the tin and with the dtm. They dont match. This is a problem. My proposed model has a template that ties into the existing ground at an offset defined by a plan graphic which represents the ditch bottom. However, the dtm failed to accurately pick up the ditch flow line on the right side. See Sta. 334+40 for example. The red line is the tin, and the blue-green line is the dtm.

How can I fix this?

  • I realize this post is over 4 years old and there have been updates to MicroStation and Geopak but I am having this problem as well.

    I have a tin file that I imported to a DTM using Corridor Modeler.  I started to notice some differences after plotting my cross sections using the DTM.  To check the TIN vs DTM I plotted both using the Draw Cross Sections from Surfaces.  I could see that the DTM is actually lower than the TIN when viewing the cross sections.

    Has anyone else run into this issue?
