Thank you John, this is helpful.
Can you explain the second option where you snap on elements, I didn't know this one ?
I am working in an urban design and landscape architects company and I wanted to create a workflow for 2D concept design in Open Roads because we don't always have 3D survey information when we start a project and we would like to be able to issue an Open Roads model quickly in 2D. Then this model could be adapted in 3D later on when we get the information.
I was thinking if we can create 3D automatically with a constant elevation at 0 and a simple corridor we could achieve that easily. This doesn't require to have a base terrain.
The other solution will be to create a flat terrain at 0 and then use the automatic best fit profile and I think that is probably the solution here. The only thing is that it requires to create this "fake" terrain each time so that is an additional step.
