Current Program: ODOT cadd Power GEOPAK V8i SS4 with OpenRoads
Project Description: Using OpenRoads version of microstation to connect intersections that were previously base-mapped with V8istd version of microstation with the new surveyed main road.
After cleaning up points and line-work i created a new terrain model from field book data, and created 7 other terrain models (from file) using individual .TIN files that were created using "ODOT V8Istd Power GEOPAK SS4". Created a complex terrain model using the "field book" terrain as my primary surface, and the other 7 terrains as to be merged. I then Deactivated the Surveying Process Rules under the survey tab of the project explorer in order to edit the Complex Terrain.
When i went to add features (top of bank/toe of slope) that were removed during the merge process, many other features were excluded from the terrain after the new features were added. ie: added the top of bank feature to the terrain and it deleted triangles from several curb, edge of pavement, and sidewalk lines.
Why did this happen? and what is the correct procedure for activating and deactivating Terrain Rules in order for the terrain to keep edits made to it?
Occasionally i was still unable to edit the terrain model even though i deactivated the processing rules in the survey tab. i then would have to switch to the civil model tab in the project explorer and lock or unlock the rules for the terrain models.
Really appreciate any help, i cant move forward with the project until i get this resolved.
thanks,
