OpenRoads - copy elements from corridor 3D model

This "workaround" has aged like wine. Still the best method I have found to get my cut/fill lines out of my model and into a 2D DGN.

Nearly 3 years later, I have a scenario almost identical to this, and to my knowledge, there is no workaround.

Thank you Mike it works but it can not be a workflow it is workaround only.

Mike, Jacquelyn, consider this true life example. There is an empty dgn file (corridors container) where a few corridors 3D models are attached.

Architect who is cooperating with road design team has a read-only access to this file via ProjectWise. He just needs a single edge of sidewalk coppied into his own file. Not all lines drawn on specific level. Just one line form one sidewalk.

Following Mikes workflow, architect will merge all elements from choosen level. Then will need to delete all elements he doesn't need. Imaigne how many elements might be drawn on a single level in a complex corridor model.

I wish there was a kind of unlcock switch to copy elements between files.

Thanks for this workflow, Mike. I tested it and it worked perfectly.

If I understand your intent... you want to copy the feature lines into another 3D (or 2d) model or file.

1. reference the 3d model of the corridor to the new file or model

2. use the level display to turn off the levels for the elements you do not wnt to copy

3. use the Merge into master - reference command i.e. Reference Manager > (right click file) Merge into master
