If there is an active Terrain model when you create the 2D horizontal geometry and the Feature Definition Toggle Bar is set to Automatically Create 3D then a best fit profile will be automatically generated for you and the feature will be become 3D. This 3D definition also controls how the feature looks in the Default (2D) model as the Default-3D model is referenced into it.Ī horizontal geometry is only 2D by definition until it has elevations. A feature's 3D definition should be set to an Element Template defining the level, line style, line color and weight. When creating a corridor and applying a template, the features are created as 3D elements and display in the Default-3D model. For example the first alignment would be MC, the second MC1, MC2.Īll MXROAD Features have been set to Automatically Create 3D Elements. If used more than once, the new feature will be incremented. The Name Prefix is the default name of the feature. After changing, use the Save Settings command to save any changes. If it isn't, exit the Preferences dialog, select any design tool from the Civil Tools task menu and and open the Preferences dialog again. Note: the Toggle Commands section may not be visible. Default toggles can be controlled in CADD menu > Workspace > Preferences > View Options - Civil > Toggle Commands section.

Documentation on the Feature Definition Toggle Bar can be found under the OpenRoads Help task menu. An element can also be converted to a feature using the Set Feature Definition Tool.
